What is the difference between
specifying a Member as "Truss"
and
Releasing Partial Moment at both Ends ?
Thank You .
Truss members are subjected to axial force only. Releasing partial moments will release moments to a certain extent depending on the inputs. Also shear forces will be there in the member.
