three dimensional beam-column joint simulation

[chinaliu]

how can i set up the three dimensional joint model use the beam-column joint element?

i mean i can use the beam-column element ( http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... nt_Element)to simulate the planar beam-column joint

but i want to do the simulation of a spatial interior beam-column joint

so i want to know how can do it ?

node 1 0 0 0
node 2 0 $ColumnLengthClear 0
node 3 [expr -$BeamLengthOut-$BeamLengthIn-$JointWidth/2] [expr $ColumnLengthClear+$JointHeight/2] 0
node 4 [expr -$JointWidth/2] [expr $ColumnLengthClear+$JointHeight/2] 0
node 5 [expr $JointWidth/2] [expr $ColumnLengthClear+$JointHeight/2] 0
node 6 [expr $BeamLengthOut+$BeamLengthIn+$JointWidth/2] [expr $ColumnLengthClear+$JointHeight/2] 0
node 7 0.0 [expr $ColumnLengthClear+$JointHeight] 0
node 8 0.0 [expr 2*$ColumnLengthClear+$JointHeight] 0
node 9 0 [expr $ColumnLengthClear+$JointHeight/2] [expr -$BeamLengthOut-$BeamLengthIn-$JointDepth/2]
node 10 0 [expr $ColumnLengthClear+$JointHeight/2] [expr -$JointDepth/2]
node 11 0 [expr $ColumnLengthClear+$JointHeight/2] [expr $JointDepth/2]
node 12 0 [expr $ColumnLengthClear+$JointHeight/2] [expr $BeamLengthOut+$BeamLengthIn+$JointDepth/2]

this problem was solved.
but the new problem i met was shown in the new Part of [http://opensees.berkeley.edu/community/ ... =2&t=60845]
