rotSpring2DModIKModel for 3D structures

Post by maziarfarzam »

I want to use rotSpring2DModIKModel for a one-story, one-bay 3D structure in which there are two parallel moment frames in X direction and two simple pinned frames in Y direction. Can I do the following changes in rotSpring2DModIKModel.tcl for defining springs of columns in the X moment frames?
1- Changing the direction of the zero length element to 5 as follows
element zeroLength $eleID $nodeR $nodeC -mat $eleID -dir 5 #( instead of 6)
2-making equal DOF in 1 2 3 4 6 directions as follows
equalDOF $nodeR $nodeC 1 2 3 4 6

you can do whatever you want .. you just have to understand the consequences.
