Links and hysteretic diagrams

[rajisace]

I am trying to create a 5 storey steel framed structure with self-centering braced frames. I am currently using a linear link and a plastic(wen) link overlay on top of one another. Both are fixed in the U1 direction and the non-linear box has been checked for the plastic link.

Is it possible to combine the links and to create the flag-shaped hysteretic diagram from SAP2000?

This has shown up and I have no idea how to fix it. I would like to show the steps and where the hinges form in the structure. Any ideas how to fix this?

Thanks
