I was using auto generate connections but I was getting deflection values 3 orders of magnitude higher than I was supposed to be. I assume the connections are much stronger than they should be and I&#8217;m not understanding why. I started using end release connections but most times when I choose a vertex the end release connections don&#8217;t allow for it. Another question is whether or not I should be using end release connections of joint connections for by beam element model.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>Thanks, I have included a screenshot and the file I&#8217;m using in this message.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/us.v-cdn.net\/6032193\/uploads\/attachments\/da150e9c-9a67-4b6b-96ed-aa27015cfe2f\/72c86f76-6e66-4034-9276-aa820138a3e5_capture.jpg?width=690&amp;upscale=false\" alt=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-36383","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_old_topic_id":["8555"],"_bbp_old_topic_author_name_id":["Anonymous"],"_bbp_old_is_topic_anonymous_id":["false"],"_bbp_old_closed_status_id":["publish"],"_bbp_author_ip":[null],"_bbp_old_sticky_status_id":["normal"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0"],"_btv_view_count":["2892"],"_bbp_subscription":["239712"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["36383"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27791"],"_bbp_engagement":["240","158009","164287"],"_bbp_voice_count":["3"],"_bbp_reply_count":["6"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["88855"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["88855"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2019-07-07 18:42:12"]},"test":"joshuavaldivia"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/36383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/36383\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
