Hi,
Does anyone have experience with the fiber hinge (P-M2-M3)in SAP2000? Specifically, does it give good convergence and accurate results in NL Static and NL Dynamic analysis.
Thanks
Hi,
Another question about the slab-beam connections.
I looked up the reference manual and it says- "The body constraint can be used to connect frame elements that are acting as eccentric stiffeners to shell elements"
1)How is it different from the joint constraint?
2)Can the edge constraint be...
yes, please to go to-
Analyze>Set Analysis Options...> Solver Options > Output Mass and Stiffness Text Files.
I have not tried this, but this option seems to be the one.
Hi,
I have a question about slab-beam connections.
I am trying to model a slab using shell elements and the interior and edge beams using frame elements with rectangular sections. This is what I have tried-
1) Offset the beam neutral axis.
2) Then, divide the slab into smaller slabs (1/4 x1/4...
I am trying to model a slab-frame RC structure.I used the 3D frame Beam-Slab Building template in order to generate the model.My question is-
Does the template account for the offset needed between the centroid of the slab section and the centroid of the beam underneath?
If not, I might need to...
Hi,
I have a question about plotting 3D matrices. I have data at specific points, as a 3d matrix, and I have the unevenly spaced X,Y,Z data for each point as 3d matrices, respectively. Basically I need to visualize the data over a volume given the XYZ coordinates of each data point.
I looked up...
