[quote="fmk"]i have never seen that error before .. try reloading tcl8.5 and make sure you place it in the correct directory c:\Program Files\Tcl[/quote] I reloaded tcl85 and I checked its location (c:\Program Files\Tcl), however, I couldn't fix the error. Anyway, I'll try to figure out ho...

[quote="fmk"]A new version of OpenSees has been released. Please note it requires tcl8.5 be installed on your machine.[/quote] Hello, Since the model I’m doing is pretty long, I split it into several files and I source them from an “all analysis file” as below: [code] # Bridge Benchmark ca...

Hello dear OpenSees users,
I want to model springs at location of supports through a beam, somebody knows how can I do it?
Thanx in advance!

[quote="silvia"]try playing with the hysteretic material.[/quote]

I omitted to mention that I did try with hysteretic material but the results seem to be weird. Another suggestion?
If not, I'll keep trying with hysteretic material.
Thank you.

Hello, I've read the manual however, I couldn't find the proper material to model a only tension element. The material I want to model has the following stress-strain relationship: eps= -0.005 0 stress= 75.0 eps= -0.0025 stress=100.0 eps= -0.0000 stress=300.0 eps= 0.0025 stress=600.0 eps= 0.0050 str...

[quote="silvia"]the power of opensees is the ability to change your solution strategies if one doesn't work. that's what the example does. the variable ok tells you whether the analysis converged. if it didn't, it modifies the analysis and manages to get over that point and moves on.[/quot...

[quote="silvia"]that was the point of the example. it ran into convergence problems and it solved them to completion "DONE!" look at the script and look at the results.[/quote] Sorry, I didn't get the point. As I understood, examples9 are non-convergence cases, if so, how can I f...

[quote="silvia"]check the material and check the element.[/quote]

I'll do it.
Thank you.

Hello OS community, Perhaps I misunderstood the manual but for a 2D model, I assigned an Hysteretic uniaxialMaterial to an Uniaxial section for a nonlinearBeamColumn element. Somebody knows whether it's conceptually correct? I'm trying to model a cable but I got the following error message: Domain::...

[quote="silvia"]yes, but only with the latest version of OS. [put these procs into a file and then source it.] Hello, I did run my model as well as the code mentioned here by Silvia Mazzoni. I got thee windows: deformed shape, node number and the third one seems to be for the modes. Howeve...

Thank you very much!

Dear all, hope somebody knows the answer to the following: 1. How can I declare a large number of nodes having the same nodal mass? Is there an abbreviation for: mass 1 $Mass1 $Mass2 0 . . . mass 500 $Mass1 $Mass2 0???? 2. In a parallel case, how can I define a large number of elements having the sa...

I installed TCL and now OpenSees works!
Thanks anyway...!!

Dear OpenSees community: Hope someone can help me. I did download OpenSees ver. 2.0, after the decompression of the files I got the executable OpenSees file. When I click the file's icon I expect the OpenSees window to run my program. However, a error appears and I can't run OpenSees. The message st...
