how to model gap element to get pounding force

[tohamy]

i need to model a gap element between two adjacent R.C frame buildings to get the pounding force and the response of the buildings. the manual is not clear about the gap link element, so i need a clear example or detailed explanation to steps of modeling the gap and getting the pounding force.
