Shear Modulus and stiffness in 2D model

Post by kamehdikhani »

hello
it is question for me that is there any way allocate shear modulus to the elements of structure in 2D model to have the resaults like period of structure and other resaults considering shear stiffness in addition to bending Stiffness? or we Should model 2D frame in ndm=3 ?

regards

if elastic:

if nonlinear force beam column you could add a shear deformation component through the use of a section aggregator.
