Italian term or phrase: in anima
This is from a report on the design of an industrial railway spur. Here's the context:

i nodi di collegamento tra le longherine e le travi trasversali, e quelli tra le travi trasversali e le travi principali, sono realizzati mediante squadrette solo in anima. Tale configurazione del nodo non e' in grado di trasmettere il momento di continuita', cosi' come richiesto dalle prescrizioni del manuale

Can't figure out "in anima". Anybody know?

Thanks.

Explanation:
this source gives "anima della trave" as "beam web" on page 31:

I am guessing that "in anima" means that it is only the web portion, the thin central strip, that is used.

Ho adoperato "plate" invece di "strip" ma il concetto e' quello.

Explanation:
Ti posso dire che l’anima è quel cavo inerte, senza qualità conduttive, che viene inserito al posto del vero cavo di trasmissione che si vorrà utilizzare in futuro. Esso è utile per l’inserimento successivo di un vero cavo funzionante , come per esempio quello coassiale per il segnale dellla televisione. Si lega il nuovo cavo TV all’anima che viene tirata dall’altra estremità del percorso in modo che possa facilmente inserirsi e sostituirla.

Asker: Certo, ma qui si tratta del settore ferroviario. Grazie dell'informazione, comunque.
