Hi everyone,
How do we model an Aluminium frame in opensees for Nonlinear analysis? My concern is how to choose Material for it. Obviously we don't have a straight forwad code for it. But What Uniaxial Material do you suggest to be used to Model the Aluminium Material?
Even if we use a Multilinear Uniaxial Material and substitute properties of Aluminium for that we are still only able to feed the Tensile and compressive strengths only,it wont take care of the Shear strength or anything else of the material. Could anyone please suggest what should be chosen (Material) in Modelling an Aluminium frame?
