What is the purpose of the prosthetic leg at the elbow in CAESERII? How to define?

Does anyone know of anyone who has done this?
Whether or not there is a false leg on the elbow affects the stress increase coefficient of the elbow. The specific method is very simple. Create a new pipe unit from the middle point of the elbow. The diameter of the pipe is equal to the diameter of the false leg and the length is equal to the length of the false leg. That's OK:)
Sometimes the stiffness of the support will have a greater impact on the analysis results. The prosthetic legs are usually made with support at the elbow. If you make a support directly at the middle point of the elbow, the system will use the default stiffness of the support point system for calculation. However, if a prosthetic leg is added, the stiffness of the support point will be much smaller than the default stiffness of the system. This will have a significant impact on the results of dynamic analysis.
