Dear Members,

I'm new for CAESAR II and i'm doing stress analysis in CAESAR II.
I have some Queries.

1. Do we need model expansion joint as it is which we received the data from vendor ? or we just insert the Data as it is ??

Ex: Expansion joint typs is Hinged.

2. do we need to insert stiffness and friction values for Various Supports.

3. if yes. then can we assume stiffness values ?

please let me know....
