Dear saman
I am very intersting in your idea about add "AEM" in opensees.
I wanna learn if have you finish you idea?

if reading correctly the AEM is just regular elements which instead of being connected at common nodes are connected via spring elements .. if this is the case you can do that now w/o any modification
