Although I donot know whether I should I ask this question or not but if any body has time, pls answer. I want to put shear wall on bay two of the following picture. If I want to use nonlinearbeamcolumn element (It is a two node element), do i have to create new nodes on the middle of bay two and then create nonlinearbeamcolumn element and sized the element to fit between two columns?
