4.2.4.1. BeamColumnJoint ElementΒΆ

This command is used to construct a two-dimensional beam-column-joint element object. The element may be used with both two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures; however, load is transferred only in the plane of the element.

eleHeightFac (float)

floating point value (as a ratio to the total height of the element) to be considered for determination of the distance in between the tension-compression couples (optional, default: 1.0)

eleWidthFac (float)

floating point value (as a ratio to the total width of the element) to be considered for determination of the distance in between the tension-compression couples (optional, default: 1.0)
