Improperly Connected Plates

The document discusses improper connectivity of plate elements in modeling. Element 1 has vertices 1, 2, 3, 4 while Element 2 has vertices 5, 6, 7. These elements are improperly connected as one vertex lies on the edge of the other. This improper connectivity can be resolved by breaking plate 1 into three parts so that all plates share common vertices.
