Im trying to model a post-tensioned self-centering walls.

I have a question regarding how to connect the top ends of the tendons with the wall.

I tried rigidlink beam but it didnt work.

I also tried elastic beam column with very large Elasticity, its not stable as the base shear changes with the change in the value of the large E.

Node 12 and 22 are the ends of the tendons.

node 1 and 2 has concrete fibers with dispbeamcolumn element

node 2 and 3 is an elasticbeamcolum.
