can RigidDiaphragm be removed?

Post by ahu861011 »

Hi, everyone.
I'm confused about this:If I define a RigidDiaphragm in the beginning, can I remove it in the analysing process, just like removing elements ? If approved, how to remove it (the command)?
Could anyone help me? Thanks a lot!

at the moment you cannot remove mp constraints .. you will be able to in version 2.1.1 .. if these are your only MP constraints in the model you could simulate it numerically using the penalty constraint handler and setting the alphaMP equal to 0.0.
