I'm a MSc student doing my Master Thesis this spring. I'm trying to do a free field ground motion analysis in OpenSees, but I'm having some trouble generating the proper input file.
I think that I have omitted one or more vital parts in the model building.
I have defined the following:
- nodes
- fixities
- nD material for the soil
- quad elements
- equal DOF
- recorders
- the dynamic ground motion analysis
When I run the analysis, it doesn't converge (I suppose that the whole thing just "fails" due to some singularity)
Can anyone tell what I have omitted?
I also have a hard time finding educational examples for free field ground analysis in OpenSees, does anyone have advise where I can find some examples?
Thank you very much!
