Hello to everyone. I want to create a master joint (node) in the center of mass of each level (slabs on every level). I want to concentrate each level mass and mass moment of inertia in these master joints. I assign to every level master joint the level constrain (diaphragm constrain Z).
The question is: Do i restrain each master joint's Joint Local Axis 3 Translation and R1 and R2 Rotation?
Thanks in advance.
