Connectivity and off-set of section properties

Hello,

To enter the end release conditions (Hinge, Sliding, Roller Joint and Partial Fixity) at both ends of beam elements, Beam End Release can be used via Boundary > Release/Offset > Beam End Release. To release the moment, create pin condition on the i or j-Node.



You can change the section offset in the section properties like below image.


Please refer to the attached file which I did for your needs.
Thank you.

I don't understand why "dummy" is required. Please explain. Thanks.

Hello,

It is for the NO moment transfer between ply (plate) to vertical batten. Or you can implement it with Elastic Link function. In the Elastic Link, enter the elastic link between ply (plate) to vertical batten with a sufficiently large value in SDx, SDy, SDz, and SRx like the below image.

Thank you.

Best regards,
