[paria.maroofi]

hi.
i want to model tuned mass damper in my structures . i modeled this with mass and link elements , but it does'nt work and does'nt reduce my displacement. can you help me plz ?????

[huffte]

Hi paria.maroofi. Could you describe your structure? Simple or complex? Could you describe how you attached the TMD mass and link? How did you come up with properties for the TMD mass and link? What type of loading did you apply?

Some more details might help users identify possible problems.

If you would like to send the model to me I will look it over happily as I find the time.

Best of luck.
