Hi,

I have a question about the stiffness matrix?

I am trying to model a beam, and this beam is fixed supported,so this gives a rotation angle of zero. But nou I want to model an elastic fixed rupport, so the rotation angle isn't zero.

Where and how is this definied in the stiffness matrix, or how solve this problem?
