Trouble with Rigid Diaphragm

Post by volkanozs »

Dear All,

I am trying to understand how to implement rigid diaphragm in an opensees model. Yet I am having troubles in the following example. Model seems to be working without rigid diaphragm, I verified the analysis results with another software. Could you please help me with the problem? I know that constraints handler should be Lagrange in case of rigid diaphragm, yet the issue persists.
Thank you

All right, I resolved the issue.
Other dofs that don't belong to rigid diaphragm control must have be constrained for the retained nodes
