problem in "beamcolumn joint" element in 3D

[izzettin]

Dear opensees user/developer

I have a problem when defining beamclumn joint element in a 3D problem for dynamic analysis..

First, how to model interior or even exterior joint in 3D, I know load is transferred only in plane, so, does that mean I have to model two joint element for each connection, one in XZ and one in YZ plane? this means I will model the element twice..

How to connect other beams perpendicular to joint plane?

Then, I encountered some issues when defining the bar-slip material such as the str parameter of "damag1" or "damage2" instead of "damage"

,and the number of parameters included in the bar-slip material to be either 13 or 15 . . .

I searched about any example for modeling joint in 3d, but nothing..

there is a single example that written in tcl to model joint in 2D, and apply static loads, but even this example is not up-to-date, and suffer some issues

any recommendations?
