Creates a new design frame element by offsetting a parent design frame element. Does not auto-mesh the new element, but instead offsets the discretized mesh from the parent element. All properties from the parent frame are copied to the offset frame. Provides an option to copy loads from the parent frame, but also allows for additional loads to be specified.
Because no auto-meshing is performed on the offset frame element, connectivity cannot be guaranteed at the new location.
