About connecting frames to shells

About connecting frames to shells

(OP)
Hi bros,
When searching in CSI wiki https://wiki.csiamerica.com/display/kb/Connecting+... , i have a trouble in understanding the meaning of the following sentence (the underline in the attachment). I am not good at English and this sentence is not along with illustration. This make me confuse. Please help me to explain this sentence:
"when the frame is normal to the 1-2 local plane of the shell, model a small frame object within the plane of the shell, and release the moment at the far end of the frame object".
Anyone has examples or illustration figure?
Thx bros.

RE: About connecting frames to shells

This is a simplified technique to account for the actual stiffness of the connection between shells and frames.
