Modelling of brace axial spring

Post by ashf »

Hello,
I have a question about modeling.how can I assign Modified Ibarra Medina Krawinkler model to brace so that correct reaction is recorded?I mean how to model the inclined spring!I've already tried it by zeroLength element and constrained it by elastic material with high hardening, but result isn't correct.
Thanks in advance.
