Queries to a Zero Length Contact Element

Post by duttaANURAG » Thu Jun 07, 2018 6:54 pm

Good Morning Community,

Please tell me what are the valid queries to a zero length contact element?

Should I take them the same as provided in BeamContact2DElement such as force, friction force, forcescaler and masterforce?

Please tell me is there any documentation available for Zero Length Contact Element, as nothing such has been provided in OpenSees website.

Please help me. Your kind help will be appreciated a lot.

Thank You.
