This would seem like a simple task. Anyhow, I am having some trouble.
Problem description: I want to model a two-storey shear frame with rigid floors and lumped masses? I.e., in all its simplicity, a two-DOF system ignoring the mass of the columns and lumping the mass at the two rigid floor beams. A typical example in all books on structural dynamics.
The columns are modelled with B23-elements while the floors are chosen as analytically rigid parts. I have used 'special - intertia - point masses' to simulate the lumped mass at the reference point of the floors.
