philipckwusa,
I do not mean to impose on your conversation with masomenos, however the following link is a good tutorial showing how to perform a nonlinear static pushover analysis to determine hinge locations, etc. http://www.csiberkeley.com/Watch&Learn/Pushover_V11S.wmv (csiberkeley.com has a...
Philipckwusa,
Can you be more specific as to what is not working correctly within your model. Are you sure you defined the properties/direction of your spring properly? Also, did you use a one-joint spring or a two-joint spring?
Any ideas on my original thread question?

Hello,
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the support conditions of a structure part way through an analysis.
For example: say I were to model a bridge and wanted to make the support conditions at the cap pinned for the dead load case. Then I want the analysis to begin a cyclic load...
Hello,
Sorry to spam this forum.
I'm attempting to use a pushover analysis and watched this tutorial: http://www.csiberkeley.com/Watch&Learn/Pushover_V11S.wmv which was very helpful. I have no problems running the analysis, however I am uncertain as to why the tutorial recommends a scale...
Hello,
I am using SAP2000 to create a grillage model for a multi-span bridge. The girders act as a composite section with the deck and, as a result, will have a different effective stiffness for positive and negative bending after cracking. Is it possible to incorporate this change in...
