space structure

Post by imancivil » Thu Feb 14, 2008 12:00 am

Hi All

I would be pleased if anybody could help me to
choose an appropriate element for modeling a space structure (double-layer grids) to achieve a nonlinear time history analysis.

Thanks.

element truss 1 1 2 $A 1
Element No. Node i No. Node j No. cross-sectional area

"truss" element is feasible to simulate compression-and-tension-only bars in double-layer grids.
