Dear Soheil, I'm trying to calibrate the model to this experimental data and model (École centrale Paris multimechanism model) https://i.imgsafe.org/5b06f06.png This is so far my model http://hostcode.sourceforge.net/view/5305 and the results are this: https://i.imgsafe.org/791a74c.png The matlab co...

I believe you can put the confining pressure with body forces rather than nodal loads, for example: set pres -2 # kg/cm2 element stdBrick 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 2 $pres $pres $pres This is what I do. Also, the gravity can be input as a body force also, so in the z direction one can sum the gravity. Altho...

Dear Soheil,

Thank you for your response! Now a lot of things are more clear.

Regards.

Hi all, I'm currently experimenting with PDMY's (PressureDependMultiYield) materials in a single stdBrick element, subjecting it to a compressive displacement controlled load with a confining pressure, just to explore and to maybe calibrate the model with some triaxial tests. I came with a curious p...

For the record, the documentation can be found on Dr. Minjie Zue's webpage:

GiD is commercial software (free up to 1010 nodes only), whilst ParaView is Open Source and you have more control on what you can show.

Apparently there is a new recorder in the code (PVDRecorder) compatible with ParaView, but so far I can't find any documentation.

PD: The script from github did work for me, but it only shows displacements.

Dear Soheil, I'm currently modelling a tunnel subjected to an ovalling deformation and so far the zerolengthContact elements work fine (for now, static analysis), nevertheless, I'm interested in knowing how to extend the use of p-y and t-z springs to this problem, in case I decide to extend the mode...

Complementing, in Unix systems you can redefine the limit of max number of open files.
See, for example, http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions ... -mavericks

I'm trying to download Building Tcl and Building Tcl viewer through the command line: svn co svn://opensees.berkeley.edu/usr/local/svn/BuildingTcl/trunk BuildingTcl and the output is : svn: E000060: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://opensees.berkeley.edu/usr/local/svn/BuildingTcl/trunk...
