2D Rigid Diaphragm

Post by xreza1985 »

Hi everyone

can I create rigid diaphragm for 2D, with totally pinned connection BLD by rigidLink beam insted of beam?
because a lot of pinned connections, using equalDOF command is difficult and complicated.

if you use the rigidLink rod option the translational dof (dx, dy) at the nodes will be constrained to move together .. you might only want the x dof to be so constrained, in which case you will have to use the equalDOF command.,
