Hi friend,
In OpenSees, the ElasticTimoshenkoBeam element is a simple beam-column element with shear and axial deformations. Unfortunately, by default, it doesn't have built-in options for assigning compression or tension limits. To simulate compression or tension limits, you may need to implement your own logic using OpenSees scripting. It's important to provide a basic outline, and you might need to customize the script according to your specific requirements and the behavior you want to simulate.
