I run an example with elastic-plastic and plastic-plastic analysis of a steel beam fixed at both ends.
The 1st plastic hinge is calculated correctly (checked by hand). These are my settings and I think that they are ok.

And the outcome is this which is right (plastic hinges in both ends)

But when I run "structrure collapse" the results are far away from the hand calculations.
These are my settings wiht "structure collapse" option checked :

And the outcome is like this. Both ends have greater moments then the plastic moments and no right collapse mechanism occurs.
What is getting wrong with my settings?

Solved! Go to Solution.
