Collapse recorder-Infill removal

Post by Naveed »

Dear Silvia and Dear Frank,
Does it work to use the collapse recorder for infill removal in case when the axial strut is connected not top-to-bottom ends of of a bay columns but have end offsets from the column nodes, see the sketch?

Using the Collapse recorder in such situation gives the following error.

WARNING :: getRemCriteria - not a response quantity of element

Could you please let me know the reason?
Is there any other alternative to discad the infill contribution upon failure?
Many thanks
