Hi,
I have a question, but I am not sure whether it makes sense or not:
Is there a possibilty to make a fiber model of a column to have a certain value of bending stiffness but to make it axial rigid at the same time?
I need it for comparison with a more easy model, where I took an inelastic concentrated plasticity column with axial rigid behaviour.
Thanks for your comments,

Re: Axial rigid fiber model
Fiber section accounts for P-M interaction, and as such can not consider two actions independently. For what you want to do you need to use Uniaxial section.
