Creating constraints and BC in a node
Creating constraints and BC in a node
(OP)
Hello,
I have a steel frame for which I am running a Response spectrum analysis. I would like to impose that no elongation is present in the beam using a coupling constraint, but at the same time a boundary condition is defined in the nodes preventing the vertical displacement. Can you please tell me how to properly do this, as I get an error:
Whenever a translation (rotation) dof at a node is constrained by a kinematic coupling definition the translation (rotation) dofs for that node cannot be included in any other constraint including mpcs, rigid bodies, etc.

Or deactivate that DOF within the coupling.
