sap2000 (connection to the edge of beam)
hey
i have this problem with sap2000 v11
with the command assign> frames> insertion point i fixed the rolled in the down part of the edge of a beam.
thus if afterwards i try to draw a cable in the edge of this beam (but in the up part of the beam) the program automatically begins the designing of this cable from the point that i fixed the rolled (in the up part of beam).
my question is simple:
has the program sap2000 v11 the possibility to have at once in the down part (in the edge of a beam) a rolled fix and in the up part (in the edge of a beam) a beginning of a cable?
follows drawing
thank you

as far as i know a beam element in fea is just 2 nodes connected by a set of sectional properties. there is no top or bottom node of the beam section. i do beleive that sap has some constraint / offset type tools that might help you to accomplish what you are trying to do.
