Insertion point/Cardinal point

Post by alikmo »

Hi,
is it possible to pass the longitudinal axis of an element through a point on the section other than its centroid? in a nonlinearBeamColumn element, I just want to apply support restraints to a point off its centroid, like its top fiber.

thanks
