Hi,
I am modelling force deflection curve for gap element. Unit load case needs to be applied on the gap element in the SACS model. I was wondering if there is easy way to apply.
LOADCNDA01 LOAD X SA01101L 1.0 MEMB CONC DUM LOAD X 101LSA01 -1.0 MEMB CONC DUM
Your advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Hello Reza Karimian,
Based on your query, it seems you are defining the gap elements outside the model. Maybe you can generate the set in a spreadsheet keeping the commands spacings in line with SACS line/column. The other option could be defining the gap elements within the model. However, this decision is solely based upon user's choice and the type of analysis to be performed.
