Anybody used hinge property to model post-yield behaviour?
I am using SAP to model thermal effect of a tunnel unde fire. I found that the thermal gradient generates quite high moments in the propping beams. I need to use hinges to model post-yield behaviour. But I have no idea how to do that in SAP.
Any comments are welcomed.
