Plasticity,Ĭreep, rotation, large deflection, and large strain capabilities areīy default, LINK180 includes stress-stiffness
Pin-jointed structure, no bending of the element is considered. (cable) and compression-only (gap) options are supported. Is a uniaxial tension-compression element with three degrees of freedomĪt each node: translations in the nodal x, y, and z directions.
To model trusses, sagging cables, links, springs, and so on. In a variety of engineering applications.
