This command is used to construct an Isolator2spring section object, which represents the buckling behavior of an elastomeric bearing for two-dimensional analysis in the lateral and vertical plane. An Isolator2spring section represents the resultant force-deformation behavior of the bearing, and should be used with a zeroLengthSection element. The bearing should be constrained against rotation.


The command, its arguments and model description can be found here: Isolator2spring Section


NOTES:

  • Local x axis of this bearing is in shear direction and local y axis is in axial direction.
  • Valid recorder arguments are: 'force', 'basicForce', 'deformation'.
