Portuguese term

definição dos nós

Portuguese to English Tech/Engineering Construction / Civil Engineering terminology
This is taken from a structural engineering report and they are just setting out the basic definitions prior to the nitty gritty of the technical stuff.
Can anyone tell me what this term means within the below context?
Doesnt really make sense to have a heading entitled "definition of ourselves/us and elements of the structure"??

definição dos nós e elementos da estrutura.
• definição da área de exposição ao vento de acessórios e da torre.
• definição dos parâmetros de vento.
• definição da área de exposição ao vento de antenas.
• apresentação do cálculo das forças devidas ao vento na torre e acessórios.

Nodes and Elements

What is a Node?

A node is a coordinate location in space where the degrees of freedom (DOFs) are defined. The DOFs for this point represent the possible movement of this point due to the loading of the structure. The DOFs also represent which forces and moments are transferred from one element to the next. The results of a finite element analysis, (deflections and stresses), are usually given at the nodes.
