The OpenSees Community

Now installed Python 3.6.1 in the location C:\Program Files\Python36 which is the one that VS2017 is searching for. I am still getting one more Linker fatal error: 2>LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file 'tcl86t.lib' tcl86t.lib is located in C:\Program Files\Python36\tcl. I changed the ...

I am using Anaconda Python 3.6

Hello all, I am trying to compile Opensees.sln but I am getting some errors because the header file python.h is not included in the directory. I found where the file python.h is located and I included the directory in OpenSeesPy project in order to compile the solution again. After that, I was still...

Hello OpenSees Community, I am trying to compile a new material in OpenSees. My goal is to modify the parameters of an existing uniaxial material PySimple1 which is suitable for soil-pipe interaction. I want to modify some of the parameters of the existing material, so they will match the experiment...

Yes i thought of that but there is an issue. When the base motion is horizontal, the base nodes are restrained in vertical translation DOF. I removed that vertical restrain so i can apply vertical force directly to them, put the Lysmer dashpots in vertical direction and use Vp instead of Vs for thei...

Hello, I have read the example in Opensees site for the 2D Dynamic effective stress analysis of a slope. At this example earthquake is simulated as a horizontal Force History at the base of the soil domain, with Lysmer dashpots to represent the underlying rock. My question: Is it possible to apply V...

Hello Everyone I have a question I want to perform a dynamic earthquake analysis of a steel pipe that has an initial condition besides its own weight and a uniform internal pressure. The pipe has high ratio radius/wall thickness, so it should behave as a thin shell with only membrane DOFS. I underst...

Thank you very much.
I understand now what i was doing wrong and i will try to fix it. You 've been very helpful!

Yes you are correct in the second step i am trying to apply the response as an equal force (Peff) in a smaller model with 9 elements instead of the original model which has 13 elements (thats why original Coordinate y is 4.0 in 2nd model). According to DRM theory if i apply the correct equal force i...

Hello, I am sorry for posting here, but the Soil Modeling section is locked and i can't post there.I am a post-Graduate student at Upatras, Greece and my problem is that want to model a 2D soil domain with the Domain Reduction Method (DRM). At first i want to verify the method by modeling a single E...
