HI Saravanan,
I have one questions related to your comment.
How can we model the rigid link in SACS

Thanks in advance.

Kannan, we did a sample model to verify this. It seems SACS only can control displacement through master/slave joints. It will apply required force to achieve preset displacement.

I found there is an push pull force at the base with master slave in staad.

But in sacs I am not getting the push pull force for the same configuration.

Using master/slave joints, you can only control displacements not the force. However in your case, you can make it through by modeling rigid links. Hope it answers your question.
