Defining Panel and Wall Connections with S-FRAME Constraint Lines

Judith

Constraint lines in S-FRAME Analysis provide an efficient method for defining connections between panels and walls. 

Part 2 of this webinar series* explains how and why you should use the Constraint Line tool in S-FRAME Analysis. Watch to learn about:

1. Rigid Constraint Lines – used to connect shell elements that may not share joints
2. Pinned Constraint Lines – allows for moment release between shell elements
3. Hysteretic Constraint Line – provides for an inelastic connection stiffness to be defined between shell elements.
4.
