Internal Moment Releases at Element Nodes

Post by motalaat »

Hi,

Is there a capability to construct beam-column elements while specifying moment releases at one of the nodes (no rotational stiffness). If so, what is the interpreter argument to specify that.

Best,

Mohamed

i would put two nodes at the same location and use the equal dof on the dofs you want to constrain.
