Gap-friction element in SAP2000 for nonlinear dynamic analysis

Gap-friction element in SAP2000 for nonlinear dynamic analysis

(OP)
Hi,
I am doing the 2-D modeling of concrete gravity dam and I need to assign the gap-friction element at the contact between dam and foundation for crack modeling. For this, I am confused about the parameters to be used to define the link element (like directional parameters, stiffness value to be used etc.).
Any information regarding this would be very helpful.
