Pinned connection between two plates?

Question

Hello! 
 
 In Plaxis 3D is possible to model a pinned connection between two plates (red line in capture below)?

Hi Dan, 
 In the Calculation modes it is possible to customize the connection between two plates by explicitly defining a Connection object. In this way it is possible to define line hinges. For more information, please refer to Chapter 7.11.4.1 (Connection between two plates) of the PLAXIS 3D - Reference manual.
