    Nonlinear MPC184 - lead core elastomeric bearings

    Hello. I've been trying for a couple of days to model a nonlinear behaviour for the MPC184 elements. I've done a simple model to be able to simply verify the results by hand calculation (the stifness is linear and equal to 1000, but it is introduced like a nonlinear bearing, with TBPT). The...

    MPC184 issue

    Thank you for your reply. Yes, MPCs are plotted as lines, but, as you said, only if they are general links or beams. As I suspected all the other MPC formulations are simple constraints and cannot be printed, not even from plot - symbols (I haven't been able to do it, anyway). I did find an...

    MPC184 issue

    Hello. I have a question regarding the possibility to display the MPC184 elements. I have encountered this issue in a larger bridge model and to test it, I have created a simple model: a 5m long cantilever beam (BEAM188) with a 5m long joint on top (MPC184). The top joint was loaded with a...
