Moment Release
(OP)
can someone explain to me the practical meaning of moment release during a structural study. i see that often while working with FEA softwares (Abaqus).
why do we release moments at joints, fixities and boundary conditions?
Thanks as i anticipate your response.

But, I'll add an example of a Clip Angle or shear tab beam to column connection. Since the beam flanges are not welded to the column these connections are not capable of developing much in the way of moment transfer between beam and column. Therefore, we typically model them with Moment Releases.
