Hi,

I drew a one joint link(damper) at a support of a two span bridge and I want to remove it. Is there any way I can do that as I can't seem to select it to delete it.

Also, can anyone shed some light on a damper's behavior when the bridge is subjected to a non linear time history load case? I changed the damping properties in the non linear section of the damper but there was no change in the effective damping ratio in the output. Infact the damping ratio was shown to be 5% which I guess is the default damping ratio for a structure.
