COMPILING OPENSEES - MODIFYING KIKUCHI-AIKEN MATERIAL

[aflo]

Hi,

Using Visual Studio 2008, I modified (in C++) the internal parameter of the Kikuchi-Aiken uniaxial material in order to get the behaviour of a specific rubber type.

The compiled version of opensees works and the results make sense...

The problem is that carrying out the analysis using the compiled version of opensees, the following message appears on the screen:

"in constructor of Uniaxial material"

What does it mean???

Am I supposed to worry about that??? I don't think so because, as I said before, the results make sense...

However, the main problem is that the analysis is strongly slowed down!!!

Could you please provide me some info about this issue and how to fix it....

Thank you

it's not a messgae the base code should spit out .. look at the UniaxialMaterial.cpp that you compiled with to see if the message is there.

I checked and I'm sure that the message ("in constructor of UniaxialMat") is not included in the .cpp code....I really don't know where it is located....

[aflo]

any solutions?????

thanks

do you get the message if you use the regular kikuchi material in your script? .. if not and it only pops up in your code chances are strong that it is in your code or the code in the DEVELOPERS braanch of the source code you are using .. if it onl

Hi frank,

No I don't have the message if I use the regular material.

I'm sorry but I'm confused about your explanation... What do you suggest to check?

Thank you

if you use the original and place in a dll (renaming it) do you get the message?
