Dear Friends,
I am trying to model plastic hinges at the two ends of beams and columns in a steel frame in ANSYS. I am using BEAM23, a 2D plastic beam element, for the beam and column members. Please let me know how is it possible to model the plastic hinges?
Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback... Actually, I am looking for a clear procedure on how to apply the two constant and varying loads in a static or pushover analysis.

Hi,
I have a structure with constant and varying loads applied on it. What is the good approach for a "static analysis" in ANSYS? I think first I have to prestress the components with constant load and then apply the varying load by keeping the prestress data... Am I right? Could you provide me...
Dear Friends,
I am trying to learn how to apply "cyclic loads" (displacement-time or load-time history) in ANSYS. I looked at the manual and did not find it helpful in this regard. I'd greatly appreciate your support in this regard.
Thanks.
