Then if point A (0,0,0) point B (1,1,1). Now point A is on the ground and but point B is connecting to something else that i am not going to model. So I still restrain all DOF's, but don't applied the time history to B, is that right?

<t>Thank you huffte.<br/>
So if input time-history in this case, i will 'restraint all' for Node A (node 1) and B (node 2)since they are the boundary of the beam. and to define M2 release at B, i can release the M2(B) in the element connectivity. and i will input the time-histories at node A and B ...

thank you for your reply.

If so, how could I define the boundary condition of a beam if it is not aligned to x or y axis.

Let's say the Beam AB, point A is at (0,0,0) and point B is at (1,1,0). now I want to define point A as a pinned support and releasing x,y,rx,rz.

Hi,
I am just wondering if the restraint in 'restraints tab' in Seismostruct is about local coordination or global coordination?

<t>Hi there, <br/>
<br/>
I was trying to model a interchange of bridge with bearing and fix connection. After clicked the processor, the software calculated for about 9mins and then it stopped with fbd_ite. I have searched the 'fbd_ite' , 'convergence problem' or 'link element' in the forum, but I ...
