I added this line
recorder Element -file data/ElemForces.out -time -ele all force;
The file contains only zeros.

Thanks.

loadcontrol

I have just noticed the line:


integrator LoadControl 0 1 0 0


You want your load factor to be 0, so your forces are all zero...

Simply use

integrator LoadControl 1

if you want to apply the load in one single step...

Thank you very much, now I have no zero reactions.
I don't know OpenSees so I modified the file MomentCurvature3D.tcl where there is the line
integrator LoadControl 0 1 0 0

Thanks.
