Hello everyone,
is it possible to define a zerolength element for 2 nodes with differing dof
When I do so, OpenSees stops working with a warning sign with the following error : nodes 1 and 339 have differing dof at ends for ZeroLength 520
any suggestion will be greatly appreciated
thanks

Hello everyone,
Is there any way to access the strain of an element (Brick) at previous converged load step within a material class?
any suggestion would be greatly helpful .
thanks

using VS 2010 solved it for me

VS 2010 solved most of the errors for me

apparently, you could define more than one model builder . Did not know that, sorry to bother

hello everyone
I want to use a brick element along with a quad element .
which quad element could be used for analysis under -ndm 3 -ndf 3
please help
thanks

seems like stdbrick element should not be defined with -ndm 3 -ndf 6
when I define it with -ndm 3 -ndf 3 , its works just fine
But I need -ndf 6 for my analysis as I am supposed to use a shell element which cannot be defined with -ndf 3. what should I do ??
please help

units are KN,m
I tried for even 0.001KN load, but fails

hello everyone, I am trying to use stdbrick element to model a cocncrete wall (can I ?) , but I am getting following errors even for a small model WARNING FE_Element::setID() - numDOF and number of dof at the DOF_Groups WARNING FE_Element::setID() - numDOF and number of dof at the DOF_Groups WARNING...

Thanks for the response :) Yes, that's quite obvious. I was wondering about how to record the response at each load step for ex: for uni-axial compression set load 10 pattern Plain 1 Linear { load 13 0 0 -$load 0 0 0 load 14 0 0 -$load 0 0 0 load 15 0 0 -$load 0 0 0 load 16 0 0 -$load 0 0 0 load 17 ...

hello everyone,
Can anyone briefly guide me through how to simulate a bi-axial compression test. Especially the loading part.
Thanks in advance

hello everyone, I get following error while loading .cpp and .h file of any materials, ERROR:Identifier "OPS_PRINT_PRINTMODEL_MATERIAL" not defined ************************************************************************************** void ElasticOrthotropicMaterial::Print (OPS_Stream &...

hello everyone,
Is there any documentation for the Nd-material interface for C++ out there.
Thanks

use vs 2010 and Bingo
