Energy dissipation of Link elements

[Ana Santos]

Hi Seismosoft,

I moddeled a beam-to-column connection on Seismo by means of a link element with a smooth curve... and now I would like to compare the energy dissipation of the expermental results with the energy dissipation of my model... but I do not know how to do it... anyone can help me please?

Thank you very much
