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...
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...
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...
