Rigid , semiregid and pin connection
Rigid , semiregid and pin connection
(OP)
Hi
I want modeling a truss bridge with beam element type
Some of its joints are with rigid connection and some of them are pin or semiregid
How I can create a rigid,semirigid or pin connection?
Could anybody help me?
thanks

RE: Rigid , semiregid and pin connection
What do you mean with semi rigid? Something that behaves like a spring? In that case you can make a connector between the points and assign a connector behavior with elastic stiffness in certain directions.
RE: Rigid , semiregid and pin connection
there is another problem
to assign tie or pin property we have to select two point
if we have two beam element with a joint and want to make it a rigid joint there is just one joint point, what should I do?
RE: Rigid , semiregid and pin connection
Only view beam 1 (by assembly display options), go MPC, and select the common node, press OK.
For the slave region, view beam 2, select common node, press OK.
