Hysteretic material & Uniaxial Section

WhiteNoise · Post by **WhiteNoise** » Thu Jan 08, 2009 10:22 am

Hello OS community,
Perhaps I misunderstood the manual but for a 2D model, I assigned an Hysteretic uniaxialMaterial to an Uniaxial section for a nonlinearBeamColumn element.
Somebody knows whether it's conceptually correct? I'm trying to model a cable but I got the following error message:

Domain::update() - domain failed in update
Newmark:: update() - failed to update the domain
WARNING ModifiedNewton::solveCurrentStep() -the integrator failed in update()
DirectIintegrationAnalysis:: analyze() - the algorithm failed at time 0.04
OpenSees>analize failed, returned: -3 error flag
WARNING - ForceBeamColumn2d:: update - failed to get compatible element forces & deformations for element: 52 (dW: << 1.0001e-12)

The same model with elastic elements gives correct results.

Thanks in advance.

check the material and check the element.

I'll do it.
Thank you.
