Modelling Hinge Connection of Column to Deck

[Hwoarang]

Hi every one

Given that my bent is single-column, and its connection to the deck (i.e, the connection to the rigid element) is hinged, is it sufficient that the case be classically executed with the equalDOF command or besides that, other measures (such as the definition of a new auxiliary element, or .. .) Is necessary?

In other words, I'm looking at how to model this type of connection in a structure with the above conditions.

(In fact, I want to make sure the columns are also deformed and Participate in the response and the structure is not unstable.)

Dear Selimgunay
I have done this, but it has not led to a conclusion (I have mentioned this in my question.) I think that there are other things to do, but I have no reference for this.

Dear Selimgunay

The solution was the one you said and the problem was somewhere else. Sincerely thank you for your reply.
