Hi, I want to model a ZeroLength Element with the Bouc-Wen material (OpenSees wiki link: https://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index.php/BoucWen_Material), and I have 2 questions: 1.- I don't know what parameters A0 and deltaA mean. The wiki says: parameters that control tangent stiffness, but nothing ...

Hi everyone. I want yo asign an elastic axial response to a Zero length element. When I define an Elastic Uniaxial Material (link to the OpenSees Wiki page: https://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index.php/Elastic_Uniaxial_Material), in the parameter E, should I put the Young's Modulus or EA? where A is...

Hi everyone, I want to model a C-Shaped wall using 3 displacement-based B-C elements (1 for web and 2 for flanges). Thus, the entire section of the wall is conformed by 3 rectangular sections. I have some questions about this: 1.- At the corner of the wall (intersection of web and flange), is there ...
