Using DisplacementControl Command with two Nodes

[micho]

Hi there

Is it possible to use the integrator DisplacementControl with two different nodes? For instance, say I had a beam and column in a " + " orientation (so that they intersect), could I move the left side and the right side of the beam at the same time?

Thanks!

Yes you can do it. You have to define a load pattern that consists of two "sp" commands (one for each node).

If you search the message board you can find explanation on how to do it.
