Two Node Link Element Error !

Post by AryanRZRD »

in Opensees Wiki Definition , it has been specified that "DOF = 6" related to rotation about Local Z axis.
when i assign the specific Material For this rotational Direction in 2D Space it gives me error !!
why ? !!
for example :

"
# ndm 2 and dof 3

uniaxialMaterial KikuchiAikenLRB 1 1 [expr 1.38464*0.175179939] 0.172423804766775 0.385e06 [expr 1.38464*0.004988753646] 7.967e6 0.583e6 13.0
