truss as elastic material?

Post by gemini »

hi

Can I make truss element as an elastic material??
There is no elastic truss element in the program.

So to do this, I used elastic frame element and then assigned moment releases so it should not take moment load. (I did this in SAP)
But after running the analysis , the elastic frame element takes moment and shear values as well..

Is there any other option?? or Can you please highlight my mistake??

Thankyou

Regards,

Have you used a force-based convergence criterion? If not please re-run the analysis with more stringent criteria.
