Can I have different member releases for different load cases ? For example can I have full fixidy ( no releases ) for one case and moment releases for another load case  ?

 

Yes. You need to set up the model in the following manner

  1. First specify all cases for which you DO NOT need releases
  2. Add a PERFORM ANALYSIS and CHANGE
  3. Specify the releases
  4. Specify all cases for which you need the releases
  5. Add a PERFORM ANALYSIS and CHANGE

A sample model is attached for reference.
