Add New Element

[alikmo]

Hi Frank,
I'm trying to add the NewTruss(located in OpenSees\PACKAGES\NewCommand) to the solution in VC++2010 and Build the solution but I get several errors and it is not working. it needs some older library and header files and I downloaded and added them. I got some syntax errors! could you please help me.

Thanks,
Ali

Try \Win32\OpenSees2005.sln
build Opensees

Hi linguan,
Thanks for the prompt response.
I did so. I also added Tcl\include and Tcl\lib to the project folders. it didn't work. I removed quiclMain and Built the solution.
Then I tried to add the NewTruss(located in OpenSees\PACKAGES\NewCommand) as a project to the solution in VC++2010.
I got this Error: c1xx : fatal error C1083: Cannot open source file: '..\..\win32Functions.cpp': No such file or directory.
then I added the file to the required folder.
then I got this error: 1>\opensees\packages\win32functions.cpp(5): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'elementAPI.h': No such file or directory
after adding the location of the file to the properties I got another error: error C2660: 'UniaxialMaterial::setResponse' : function does not take 4 arguments

it seems that there is a problem (maybe version mismatch) that I cant Build it!
is the way I'm adding the New Element (as a project) to the solution is correct?

Thanks again,

WHY?

You want to add new element, but why do you use PACKAGES\NewCommand\MyTruss?
Maybe you should make it to build the original files without modification before you add any code of yourself.
