So ... isn't it possible to solve the mumps problem?! Should I forget about parallel processing?!

I tested some other systems and still get the same error! Is there any solution? Why this happens again and again ... ?! Is the problem with the Mumps?

Thanks for your reply, but here: http://opensees.berkeley.edu/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=62056 you said that there is an option to obtain an estimate of the plastic deformations!! I think we can calculate the yield rotation (using the formulas in ASCE-41 for example) and then the plastic rota...

Anybody could comment on my question?!

Thanks for your reply Dr McKenna ... The system is Mumps and here are the analysis commands:

constraints Lagrange;
numberer RCM;
system Mumps -ICNTL14 80;
test EnergyIncr 1.E-6 10;
algorithm Newton;
integrator Newmark $gamma $beta;
analysis Transient;
analyze 500 0.01;

Does the argument "deformation" in element recorders (recorder element ... section $secNum "deformation") accounts for the "total curvature"?! If so, how to record "plastic curvatures" then?!

StephanGottschalk: I did the process as you said, and it works. However, when I run "mpiexec -np 4 OpenSeesSP model.tcl" the only thing it does is going to the next command line without doing anything! What Ameri said works (it SEEMS that it works!! In other words, it makes OpenSeesSP runn...

I've changed the system (64-Gb RAM) and it seems there is no problem with memory anymore. However, when I run OpenSeesSP I get the following error: special ele: 0 VERTEX ONE: 1 Slave Process Running 3 StaticDomainDecompositionAnalysis::recvSelfSlave Process Running 2 StaticDomainDecompositionAnalysi...

dr Mckenna: yes i have. mine is 64 bit however!
ameri: thank you, in this way I can run it! although I get an error and I've asked about it in another topic.

When I run OpenSeesSP, I get the following error before gravity analysis is performed successfully. However, I don't have any problem with regular OpenSees and it works perfectly fine. Could anyone tell me what's the problem? special ele: 0 VERTEX ONE: 1 Slave Process Running 3 StaticDomainDecomposi...

Can we run OpenSeesSP on windows servers, such as Windows Server 2008?! Do MPICH2 and OpenSeesSP work there? Thank you.

yes it does! when I try "mpiexec -n 4 cpi" it works perfectly fine, but when I run "mpiexec -np 4 OpenSeesSP model.tcl" it goes to the next command line and nothing happens! could you tell me please what's the problem?!

Do we still have to use -xml instead of -file in order to record responses in OpenSeesSP? Is the reason that the data columns in -xml are recognizable, while they are not in -file? Or is it because of the fact that the data recorded by -file is inherently incorrect and useless?! Thanks.

Hi, I can't run neither 32-bit nor 64-bit OpenSeesSP on 64-bit windows 8! When I run 'mpiexec -np 4 OpenSeesSP model.tcl' it goes to the next command line without doing anything (actually I'm not receiving any errors, it does nothing however and simply goes to the next command line!) Meanwhile I don...

Thank you mo_zarrin. Maybe the problem is that my laptop is a 6 GB RAM one! It doesn't work even with "INCTL14 100"! Nonetheless, the problem may source from something else! Could you tell me please, are the only differences between regular OS and OpenSeesSP tcl files that: 1- we just simp...
