(Refer to "Plate End Release")
Refer to Usage of Table Tool and enter or modify the following data :
Element : Beam element number
N1 : Connection release condition at node N1
Fx : Release axial stiffness of node N1 in the element's local x-direction
Fy : Release axial stiffness of node N1 in the element's local y-direction
Fz : Release shear stiffness of node N1 in the element's local z-direction
Mx : Release bending stiffness of node N1 about the element's local x-axis
My : Release bending stiffness of node N1 about the element's local y-axis
N2~N4 : Connection release conditions at nodes N2~N4
Details are similar to that for node N1.
