Hello Everyone,
How can we make our truss diagonal bracings to carry ONLY TENSION forces?
Does anyone has clue?
Using syntax crac 0 shown below( and performing non-linear analysis) ,it makes my diagonal bracings to carry compression forces. How can I make the reverse, that is to carry only tension forces?
If you want to have elements that are only working in tension you need to use cable elements instead of truss elements.
The same principles apply like with truss elements working in compression only, namely a non-linear analysis must be performed in order the non-linear properties to be used. Please also refer to the explanatory video in the folder below.
