Hello,
I have two containers that will be placed side by side on 3 rows of concrete columns. They will both sit on the central row of columns.
I placed a rigid link with all direction blocked with the top of the concrete column as "Master node", and linked the structures.
The structures are also joined at the top with bolts oriented on Y direction, so I placed isolated nodes at the top between the structures, and considered them Master Nodes, and added a rigid link with RY free. Then I used "RLINK elements" algorithm for solving.
Is this a correct model? I attach the model and some pictures.

Yes. If the connection between the 2 containers at the bottom is fully rigid , that is correct.
At the top , you don´t need the node at the middle. Choose one side to be the master . Results will be the same

Can you explain me please, why you released Y direction at the top? Does that mean the bolt cant work in tension and compression?
