How to decrease EI of elements
Posted: 03 Apr 2015, 23:19
Hi everyone,
I am trying to decrease of my frame elements' stiffness. But i cannot find a way to do that. I have to change my elements' stiffness for a pushover analysis. I've searched forum and some folks say that it is not possible right now.
I tried to change Elasticity in con_ma material type but it gave permission only up to 40% or 50%. After this limit program goes nut.
And i do not trust the results after i have changed the elasticity up to only 30%.
Do you have any idea how to dealt with that.
Thank you.
