Pin connection & equalDOF command

Post by yigitozcelik »

Hi Dr. Silvia;

I need to use pinned connections in 2D frame system
To achieve that; I assign two nodes with different node tags
and with same coordinates,
after I use equalDOF command for x and y directions.

The problem is after completing analysis,
the deformations in x-direction are different
(for master node it gives a value but for slave node it gives zero)
however the deformations in y-direction match.

Thank you in advance
