sp Command

This command is used to construct a single-point non-homogeneous constraint (SP_Constraint) object.

sp $nodeTag $DOFtag $DOFvalue

$nodeTag

node on which the single-point constraint acts

$DOFtag

degree-of-freedom at the node being constrained.

Valid range is from 1 through ndf, the number of nodal degrees-of-freedom.

$DOFvalue

reference value of the constraint to be applied to the DOF at the node.

EXAMPLE
