Warning :

Some DS structural analysis features do not have always the same explicitation. It depends on the scenario. For example, SAMMoment can have as child :

either a POINT_MOMENT characteristic if the direction of the moment is collinear to the selected support of the Moment,
or a POINT_FORCE characteristic in the other case.
