Modeling precast concrete structure

[manhibst]

Hi,

I want to simulate a precast concrete structure with joints between beam and column as pin or semi-rigid. Can Seimosoft have simulations? Can you guide me a simple way to simulate the behaviour of this joint?

Many thanks.

SeismoStruct has modeling capabilities for both pinned and semi-rigid connections.

I suggest a review of Chapter 2, Examples 4 and 5, of the Verification report. The "Link Elements" subtopic in the Help system should be of great value to you as well.

Best of luck.
