matTest.tcl error??

Post by rcsoul »

Hello,
I tested the script matTest.tcl provided in the manual on OpenSees1.7.3 but got failed. It couldn't stop running. The script and OpenSees.exe was downloaded from the website without any change. Why does this happen? It is grateful for any reply.

Commenting recorders made the script works fine. I guess the bug results from OpenSees 1.7.3-1.7.5 nolonger support these recorder output option for truss element.

Thank you, silvia.
Yes, the original script in OpenSees Manual 1.7.3:
recorder Element 1 -time -file force.out force

shall be modified to
recorder Element -file force.out -time -ele 1 force

to get it worked.
