This command is used to construct a two-dimensional beam-column-joint element object. The joint2D element is a useful element for modeling rotational deformability of beam ends.

element Joint2D $eleTag $Nd1 $Nd2 $Nd3 $Nd4 $NdC <$Mat1 $Mat2 $Mat3 $Mat4> $MatC $LrgDspTag


$eleTag unique element object tag
$Nd1 $Nd2 $Nd3 $Nd4 integer tags indicating four external nodes of beam-column joint (
$NdC integer tags indicating the central node of beam-column joint (the tag is used to generate the internal node, thus, the node should not exist in the domain)
$Mat1 uniaxial material tag for rotational spring at node 1 (optional)
$Mat2 uniaxial material tag for rotational spring at node 2 (optional)
$Mat3 uniaxial material tag for rotational spring at node 3 (optional)
$Mat4 uniaxial material tag for rotational spring at node 4 (optional)
$MatC uniaxial material tag for rotational spring of the central node
$LrgDspTag tag for the large deformation condition:
0 - for small deformations and constant geometry
1 - for large deformations and time varying geometry
2 - for large deformations ,time varying geometry and length correction
