Simple Frame

Difficulty: Simple

Here a simple portal frame with two load cases are analyzed: a vertical load case on the upper beam and horizontal load case on one column. By setting the boundary conditions of the individual supports and releasing joints at the beam to column connection, it is possible to see the change in deformation shape as well as the change in the bending moments in the individual elements.
