Can connector element used in frequency step?
Can connector element used in frequency step?
(OP)
Since we have following text in the doc, I think the answer is yes, but I can not make it work.
The input file is very straightforward as two RP with one connector element:

Defining elastic connector behavior in linear perturbation procedures Available components of relative motion with connector elasticity use the linearized elastic stiffness from the base state. In direct-solution steady-state dynamic and subspace-based steady-state dynamic analyses, the linear elastic stiffness defined by an uncoupled connector elasticity behavior may be frequency dependent.
