joint offsets

[Zeeshanbhat]

Dear Francesa,

I analysed your model on joints, but I found something strange. I just changed the value of offset in Z direction. The coulmn on left side shifted up, while the column on the right shifted downwards.

. Please correct me if I am wrong.

The model is attached below.

Moreover, I analysed one of the structure using the above procedure for modelling rigid joints only. The time period becomes the function of joint material stifness. As I increase it the time period increase drastically. I am confused which value of stiffness should I use.

I run your model with offset values = 0.4 and I don't see any issue:

What values are you using?
