Calculating the probability of failure by Zhou & Novak

[benissimo]

Hi, I am new to Opensees and I would be happy if someone could help me.

I would like to calculate the probability of failure of a reinforced concrete frame under horizontal loads. I do not want to carry a FORM analysis, but with a method according to Zhou & Novak "integration formulas to evaluate functions of random variables" in 1988.

This works as follows:
I have n random variables, which may be correlated.
With the method of Zhou & Novak I have 2 * n ^ 2 + 1 points, to which I have to run a FEM calculation.
So for example an elastic frame in which only the Young's modulus is a lognormal distribution with mu = 30000N/mm^2, sd = 1000N/mm ^2
2 * 1 ^ 2 + 1 = 3
Now I have 3 FEM calculations with the following points as Young's modulus:

x1 = 29983 N / mm ^ 2
x2 = 31765 N / mm ^ 2
x3 = 28301 N / mm ^ 2

this 3 deformations "G" at the top of the frame should get saved in the same output-file.

G1 (x1), G2 (x2), G3 (x3)

At the end, the individual calculations are weighted.

w1 = 0.666
w2 = 0.166
w3 = 0.166

The first two moments be then:

E [G] = w1 * G1 + w2 * G2 + w3 * G3
sd ^ 2 = E [G ^ 2] -E [G] ^ 2
beta = mu / sd
pf = NORMINV (- beta)

My real question is: can you read a list of parameters in Opensees, for example, with 10 random variables.
This list contains 2 * 10 ^ 2 + 1 = 201 lines and 10 columns for 201 calculations and 10 random variables. The calculation starts with the parameters in line 1, for example, save the horizontal deformation d1 in the output-file "calculation.out".
Thereafter, a further calculation for the line 2 is performed with the parameters 1-10 and save d2 in the same output-file "calculation.out" and so on. This, until one arrives at line "201".
At the end, the individual results are weighted again.

I hope that I could make my question comprehensible.
(Sorry for my english)

For an answer, I thank you in advance
