[en] In this presentation, an X-braced spring mesomodel will be compared to a mesomodel in which the diagonal springs are replaced by rotational springs. The results are signi cantly di fferent, but some disadvantages of the use of rotational springs will also be mentioned. A substantial part of the presentation will furthermore be dedicated to the multiscale quasicontinuum method to upscale the mesomodels in order to achieve e fficient macroscale computations.
