hi, im quite new in mesh plate modelling and i found some difficulties to model pin release.
i have wall structure that have 3 side pin support (left, bottom & right) and hydrostatic force came from Z global axis
--> for bottom since it laid on slab and has shear key so i model it with restrain only for Fy, Fz and Mz
--> for each left and right side, this wall suppose to sit on column so i try to model it as pin which is restrain only for Fz and Mz (please correct me if im wrong)
simple sketch as follows:
| fix to wall | pin to column | pin to column | pin to column | pin to column | fix to wall | ||||||
| fix to wall | pin to column | pin to column | pin to column | pin to column | fix to wall | ||||||
| fix to wall | pin to column | pin to column | pin to column | pin to column | fix to wall | ||||||
| fix to wall | pin to slab | pin to slab | pin to slab &column | pin to slab &column | pin to slab | pin to slab | pin to slab &column | pin to slab &column | pin to slab | pin to slab | fix to wall |
the model should be simple and not complicated..., unfortunately some of element especially that connect to slab and wall are triangular plate (and it took time if i have to remodel it again) so i got problem when i try to release using release plate in STAAD.
question is..do i have to release 2 side that connect or just 1 side..or any other way to model it as pin support??..for avoiding instability joint and have reasonable stress plate
thank you very much for anybody who replies and give some solution for it
best regards,
duta
