plastic hing

[saharnaz]

hi every body.
i have a 6 story rc moment frame with buckling restrained braces. i use element beamwithhings for columns and beams and nonlinear beam column for buckling restrained braces. now i want determine the place and order of plastic hings in structure,how can i do it

[fmk]

that i am afraid you can only do using information in some reccorders you will have to create to monitor what is going on.

[saharnaz]

is there an example or something that would help me?

[fmk]

help you with what, the recorders or processng the data.

Dear Saharnaz;
I want to monitoring the rotation of hing in RC frame, Could you tell me How can i record this parameter?
I want to generate a 2D Rc frame with element beamwithhing? Could you send me an approach for generation frame use as beamwithhing elements or use another approach to moitor rotation of hinge?
Best,
