Connections

Post by juanolarte »

Hi everyone,

I am working with beam column connection, where the column is connected to a frame. I am considering a pin connection between the column and frame (Like a buckling test), I used zero length elements, but my results show me the same displacements and rotation in both parts: column and frame (Both nodes master and slave), this does not make sense. Does anyone know what could be happen?

Thanks

Juan

you have too many constraints between the 2 nodes.
