And one more thing:
why does the capacity depend on the applied horizontal load? Since the structure is a cantilever, the shear span should remain constant, right? For a small horizontal force (1 kN), the chord rotation capacity is like 10%, whereas for a reasonably large horizontal force the chord ...

Dear All,
I am trying to understand the results under "Performance Criteria Checks" by comparing them to my hand calculations. My model contains two nodes and one cantilever column element. I am applying an axial and a horizontal load to the upper node and I am restraining the lower node. I run a ...
