problem with elastomeric bearing

Hi, I modeled an 2D inelastic column in this way: node1=bottom of column (fix) node2=top of column node3=node where I apply a mass a nonlinearBeamColumn element connect nodes 1 2. At a first time I created a rigidLink beam 2 3 and I run static analysis (done successfully). At a second time I created...

isolated bridge model
