could you help me about some ability of opensees? I want to analyze a concrete beam-column joint, if it is possible to be modeled by opensees? can opensees model cracks in concrete? can opensees model joint under cyclic loading? and can opensees show its hysteresis loops?
there are two element type
BeamColumnJoint2D and 3D for which you need to look at this thread and the dissertation linkiied within.

the other is the BeamColumnJoint Element described in the manual and the manual contains a link to the paper describing it in greater detail.
both were created by ph.d. students and validated using experimental test data of RC frames subjected to cyclic loading.
