Shape memory alloys can be modeled in ETABS by defining the link elements as multi linear plastic objects. I need to model shape memory alloy braces in ETABS. So should define the link and then assign the braces as a link element? Then what about the section properties of the braces?
Is it possible to model shape memory alloy in ETABS?
I need to give shape memory alloy braces to my steel structre. Is it possible in ETABS?
please help
