Clicking Definition of hinge model in the Non-linear Hinge Definition dialog box, opens the dialog for defining a hinge model, that is, it creates a pushover curve diagram (the dependence of force on a displacement, moment on a rotation or stress on a strain in a given hinge) and determines additional hinge parameters.
