geom transf help

Post by gabrielvaldes » Wed Aug 09, 2017 2:40 pm

Hello
could someone explain me how to connect elements
The command geomTransf in space
the thing is that i don't understand the indications XZ plane etc
for example, i have analysed a simple 3d frame, but when i review the forces it states that a beam has end values of 0 in MZ and Vy, clearly this is not true beacause it is fixed

HELP

Transformation is explained well n the following link: http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... sformation

It is expected to have forces at a fixed end.
