Plate End Release

Hello STKO Team!

Is there any option in STKO to model plate end release for simulation of precast RC panel connections in multy story buildings except for manual creation of node to node links with equal dofs?
Scheme example from Midas GEN is attached. In the attached scheme the elements highlighted in red have end release for the moments around the y axis to model connections between the panels that do not transfer bending moments.

Best Regards,
Aleksandr

Dear Aleksandr,
It is not yet implemented, but we were planning to implement it in an automatic fashion. We will let you know as soon as it is ready.

Dear STKO Team,

thanks for your answer I hope you'll find time and implement it in automatic way. As this can be quite important for wall-slab-wall joints.




Best Regards,
Aleksandr
