Problem when using Joint2D element

Post by WendyZhao »

Dear all,
I have used Joint2D element in 6-story frame for interior and exterior joints, but opensees shows a quite small value for its fundamental T (about 0.05s). I have checked my tcl, but I dont know why the T is that small!

I think you should check the stiffness in 6-story frame.
