Positive and negative rotation in zero length rotational spring

Post by Diegoh »

Hello,

If I define a zero-length rotational spring along the x-direction for a 3D model without specifying the local axis, does this imply that the positive moment and rotation will be in the positive global x-direction, and this is independent of the order of spring end nodes I and J?

Thanks a lot

What if non-classical damping could revolutionize the way we approach dynamic analysis in OpenSees?

What if non-classical damping could revolutionize the way we approach dynamic analysis in OpenSees? Imagine the possibilities of incorporating unconventional damping models to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of structural simulations, pushing the boundaries of traditional engineering practices.
