node rotation vs plastic hinge corner

Post by fylseu »

hello, everyone!
My questions are:
1. What's the differents between node rotation and plastic hinge corner? The value of node rotation is lager than that of plastic hinge corner?
2. If nonlinearBeamColumn element is used as beam/column members, how to get the plastic hinge corner of beam/column in opensees? and for other element? like Beam With Hinges Element, dispBeamColumn....
(I know how to get node rotation in opensees.like this:recorder Node -file Noderotation.out -time -node 1 -dof 3 disp;)
Help me! thanks for your attention!
