Thanks for your reply Sir..
For a rigid element, the stiffness properties are computed using 10times of the entered thickness.

While calculating Kx and Kz using Class 1 branch flexibility, which thickness will be used for the above case.
Entered thickness
OR
10times the entered thickness.
An extract from User's guide is shown below..
Thanks in advance
