I need to use remove element command in my project. I encountered problem in use remove element that explain in the following two example below.
############################################
example 1
wipe all
model basic -ndm 2 -ndf 3
file mkdir rem
node 1 0. 0.
node 2 0. 0.
fix 1 1 1 1
equalDOF 1 2 2 3
mass 2 11025. 0. 0
uniaxialMaterial Elastic 1 290000.
uniaxialMaterial Viscous 2 290. 1
element zeroLength 1 1 2 -mat 1 -dir 1
element zeroLength 2 1 2 -mat 2 -dir 1
recorder Node -file rem/node2disp.txt -time -node 2 -dof 1 disp
set accel "Series -dt 0.01 -filePath elcentro.txt -factor [expr 9.81]"
pattern UniformExcitation 2 1 -accel $accel
constraints Plain
numberer Plain
system BandGeneral
test EnergyIncr 1.e-8 8
algorithm Newton
integrator Newmark 0.5 0.25
analysis VariableTransient
analyze 4000 0.01

remove element 2
}

the problem is that the response for node 2 is very different in the two example so that in the two example response for node 2 should be equal.
would you like for solution this problem what should I do???????????
