Hi, all
do you have an example with Arclength integrator?

thanks

Dear Silvia,
Thanks for your help, but this is a steel member so if we select elastic-no tension material, which other material could use to obtain the part of the diagram with negative slope?

Hi, how can we define material properties of a compession member like as the figure bellow? ------------------- | force ------------------- | ------------------- | -------------------|-----------------deformation ------------------ /| -------- -------- / -- | --------- \ ----- / --- | ---------- \ -...

Hi

How can we use one element internal forces (for example moments) in the performance function of a reliability analysis?

Thank you

hello alisa i compiled the extention files but when i want to use these extended abilities the OpenSees said "can not create that commands" i want to ask: 1- could'nt we compile the extention file in a right manner?? ( we follow the developers page step by step) 2- is there extra steps tha...

Hi alisa

indeed, I need to compile some new ubc extension files from M. Scott for performing reliability analysis.

thank you
Negin

hi all

is there anyone that can help me how to compile opensees new extension files?

thank you

Hi Hoda Sorry, I saw your message this morning. I had some problems! You know, I couldn’t find special tools in this regard. In fact, it seems that OpenSees don’t show plastic hinge formation automatically like some other finite element packages. So, I think you yourself should determine plastic hin...

Hi,

Thank you for your time Smitha, you know I couldn’t get that files from UBC.
That is available only for authorized persons!?

Negin

Hi,

thank you Smitha, but I saw in a paper (from Haukaas T.) and he modeled this source of uncertainties!

dear Silvia, what do you think? please help me


thank you

Hi, all

are there any similar web pages including full informetion or some examples about this topic?

thanks

Hi, Smitha Thanks again for your time and reply. So, suppose we have a dispBeamColumn element with rectangular (hxb) cross section defined using “patch quad” command, now how can we define h (depth of beam) as random variable? For example randomVariablePositioner 1 -rvNum 1 -element 102 -section 1 ?...

dear friend, Smitha
tanks for your help but I couldn’t find my answer there!. you know, in fact I want to define cross section properties of a member for example depth of a beam as random variable in reliability analysis, so I didn’t see such proper command.

Hi,
Dear silvia
How can we define the cross section properties (fiber dimensions or area,…) in reliability analysis of for example a frame structure as random variables?
I mean which syntax of randomVariablePositioner command are needed?

Tank you very much
