Hello Dr. Silvia! Thanks for your prompt reply! I will go through each element output and sum up; to do so, I would like to ask you whether there is an extra key-word in the Record commands to define the format of the output files.

Hello Everybody! I would like to ask for some help on the following issue. I am running a nonlinear analysis of 10-story braced R/C building. My model is 3-D. I would like to monitor and record the shear at each story and at each analysis step. I am interested in knowing whether a useful script exis...

Hello Silvia! Thanks for your reply. I certainly forgot to tell you that I also tried the Concrete02 and Steel02 combination as recommended. However, there are still convergence problems even with gravity analysis. It keeps saying me "failed to get compatible element forces and deformations&quo...

Hello Saravana! I am also facing quite same problem you are having. I am trying to do a nonlinear analysis of 2-D R/C frame using nonlinearbeamcolumn for columns and beamwithhinges for beams. The first try, I used hardening material for beams (bending) and I combined elastic and hardening for column...

Hello Lorenzo!

My name is Juan from Hokkaido University in Japan.
I was checking some posts and I found yours. I would like to ask you some questions now that my analysis is quite similar to the one you described.
Please let me know....

Hello Silvia.

Thanks for your comments.

And what about vertical elements such Columns? When the P-M interaction is not neccessary?
It is always necessary, isn't it?

Thanks,

Hello Frank!

Thanks again for your clear explanation. I will proceed accordingly.

One last general doubt:
When don't I need P-M interaction for COLUMNS? I mean, which case the P-M interaction is not needed?

Thanks again,

Hello Frank! Thanks for your reply! I understood perfectly the problem with ElasticPP and at certain point the issue with the "section Aggregator" and P-M interaction. I will try to modify my model by using fiber section to get P-M interaction; however there is still one doubt: In the exam...

Hello Everybody! Can someone help me clarify one thing about SectionAggregator Command in the example folder “example6.genericFrame2D” ? The issue is: In the folder there is one file called “Ex6.genericFrame2D.build.InelasticSection”. The element type used is “nonlinearBeamColumn” for members, beams...

Hello Dr.Silvia! I rechecked the model and the flexibility of my model as you suggested to me in your last reply; however the results are still strange. About the flexibility: Before going in the nonlinear analysis, I started running a static analysis in order to get familiar with the OpenSees featu...

Ok Dr.Silvia, thanks for your help.
I will run the models by usign "My" if something appears then I will contact you again.
Anyway, may I know the reason Frank told you?

Best regards,
Juan

Hello Dr.Silvia!
Thanks for the reply!
Yes, it seems like working correctly when I use "My" instead of "Mz".
Anyway, I will be waiting for your confirmation once you have talked to Frank.

Best Regards,
Juan
