Hi! all
I want to make comparison hysteresis loop of simplified model (bilinear model) with experimental results.
I want toknow how to input cyclic increasing displacement. I hope opensees expert can help me .

Hi! All

I am beginner in opensees. I want to know how to apply cyclic increasing displacement history. for example 3 cycle of displacement:
0, 1.0, 0, -1.0, 0; 0, 2.0, 0, -2.0, 0; 0, 4.0, 0, -4.0, 0. Any help is highly appreciated.

Dear fmk, any user I am new beginner in opensees. I would like to simulate steel damper as zero length element with bilinear force-deformation relationship ( i.e. elastic stiffness, yield force or yield displacement, and post yield stiffness ratio). The input of loading is cyclic increasing displace...

Hi! , Silvia I am beginner in opensees and need your help with regard to modeling steel damper as bilinear or tri linear force-deformation relation. My aim to model steel damper in order to make the comparison of hysteretic curve which obtained from experimental test with simplified model. In biline...
