Dear fmk Hello, Thank you for your time and answer. I was wondering whether, provided that the geometricTransformation vector in 3d defines the X-Z Plane, one could say there would be no difference between geomTransf of two elements with different Local axes' angle with respect to Global axes, as lo...

Dear all Hello, Recently, I have been reviewing the forum on how to properly define geometric transformation for bracing elements in 3D modeling. In my research i found that mostly the Vecxz for bracing elements are defined as if they are oriented along one of 3 Cartesian axes (e.g. 1 0 0, or 0 0 1 ...

Hi
I could Provide you with 2.2.2 Version if you want.
Best of Luck

Dear Vesna.
Thank you for your helpful answer.
I have another question as well. Assuming that fiber sections have been assigned to these Zero-Length elements, and considering that plastic zone length has not been defined for each zero-length element, will the component work properly as a whole?

Dear All Hello I am trying to model a 2-D steel frame structure assuming "Concentrated Plasticity" in beams and in columns, and i decided to use "Zero-Length Section Element" command as follows: The combined component (used for modeling of the columns) is : { Linear element + &qu...
