hello, How can I release end moments of a nonlinearBeamColumn element in 3-dimentional OpenSees model while I have assigned rigidDiaphragm to all nodes of story? For example in the following model I want to release the end moment of element nonlinearBeamColumn 5, wipe model basic -ndm 3 -ndf 6 file ...
