Hello
I want to model a 2-D frame with BEAM3 element as beam and columns. As I know the
connection between the beam and the column created by ANSYS is rigid. My aim is
to create an hinge connection between the beam and the column.
My problem is modeling this hinge connection, I used MPC184-revolunt joint but I
don't know how to model hinge by MPC184-revolunt element correctly.
Can someone help me to model it?
Best

MPC184 is a rigid body
MPC184 is a rigid body element. Try with "coupling equation" that you can find in ansys classic (GUI version) mainmenu> Preprocessor > Coupling/Ceqn > Couple DOFs
Couple DOFs
Would you please explain more?
I mean how to add a specefic DOF at node (for example rotation)?
Thanks
