Re: joint offsets

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.

Zeeshan
