<t>What if the one point of the gap link element is constrained, while the other of the same coordinates is on the top of the column.<br/>
<br/>
Should then the stiffness of the gap be valued also zero in vertical direction? I have tried the analysis and it seems that gap doesnt recognize that one ...

gap pinned in one direction
<t>I'am using the gap_hk link element to model the pinned support with vertical movement prevented and downward movement allowed (dependent to the stiffness of the column bellow). <br/>
<br/>
The support is of course at the coulmn top where i have placed two nodes with same coordinates of which one ...
