Inclined Supports question

[kostast88]

This might be simple, but I haven't found any info for it. How can I assign inclined restraints(eg fix support rotated by 45 degrees) to a joint? Note that the member would have a different orientation.

Try using a zero length element with stiff uniaxialMaterials and orient the element as needed, e.g., 45 deg

Yes I thought about that,but I wanted to check for a more clean solution.Thanks for making that clear.
