Re: define hinge
samo112, I'll suggest taking a look at the Help System. You could do a search on 'plastic hinge' from within SeismoStruct Help.
Either the "inelastic plastic hinge frame element" or a "link" type element should meet your needs hopefully.
Creating a file from the wizard might be a good way to learn about model properties, loads, etc. . .
Best of luck samo112.
