equivalent masonry frame

[dariocoletta]

hi everybody,
i'm modelling an equivalent frame on opensees relative to a masonry structure but whena i launch the analysis i have this convergence problem:


OpenSees > source modello_3d.tcl
WARNING - ForceBeamColumn3d::update - failed to get compatible element forces & deformations for element: 21032104(dW: << 6.98423e+017, dW0: 5.17332e+017)
Domain::update - domain failed in update
LoadControl::update - model failed to update for new dU
WARNING NewtonRaphson::solveCurrentStep() -the Integrator failed in update()
StaticAnalysis::analyze() - the Algorithm failed at iteration: 0 with domain at load factor 0.1
OpenSees > analyze failed, returned: -3 error flag
-3

do you have any idea on how to solve this problem?

thanks everyone in advance

It's probably an error in your section definition. Not easy to tell without more context.

this is my section:

uniaxialMaterial Concrete02 1 -4.000000 -0.001500 -0.800000 -0.010000 0.12 0.0 1500

section Fiber 101 { patch rect 1 26 3 -1300.000000 -150.000000 1300.000000 150.000000}
uniaxialMaterial Elastic 1001 1.755000e+19
uniaxialMaterial Elastic 1101 16250000000000
section Aggregator 1 1101 Vy 1101 Vz 1001 T -section 101

do you think that are there any problems?

Are you getting this error in gravity analysis? It looks like gravity analysis as you are using load control

[mhscott]

The E values for your Elastic materials are VERY large. You could be running in to numerical conditioning issues.

[dariocoletta]

yes, i get this error in gravity analysis
