Capturing Plastic hinge/plastic deformations in 2D modeling

Post by nbazaraa »

What is the latest best element type that can capture the plastic hinge formation in 2D analysis of steel moment resisting frame? What is the associated material command?
Eventually, Is there any recorder argument that can be used to record the element plastic deformations results in .out file??? If there is no plastic deformations occur, does the recorder prints nill??
Thanks :)
