Momemt release hing

Post by sajedmohsen » Sun Jul 15, 2018 12:37 am

Hi everyone

how can I model a momemt release hinge between column and deck (i.e. column and rigid element that the last represents the offset of column and deck in FE modelling)?

You should have two different nodes for the same location, one node for the column end, another for the beam end, you should use a equaldof constraint between these nodes for the dof that are rigid, automatically any other dof will result in a hinge.
