Hi All,

My question is about the modeling technique of three-hinge assembly in CII which can consider the axial movement or the true response of the beam while one spool end goes on the arc.

I know that 2-hinge assembly including bi-linear restraint (RZ2) and Y-Rod can model the pivoting of spool with axial movement. (COADE’s web site, Barco.zip file)but just wondering about the 3-hinge assembly.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks.
