Hello, I wonder to know How to model a chevron frame with high stiffness ? I used code below but I keep receiving this error:
node 1 0. 0.
node 2 3. 0.
node 3 1. 2.
node 4 2. 2.
fix 1 1 1 1
fix 2 1 1 1

Re: High stiff chevron frame
with truss elements you have a mechanism .. have you any structural analysis background?
