Why my opensees cannot read the file containing the load factors values correctly when I use it to do a quasi-static ana

Post by jinyuanlee »

Why my opensees cannot read the file containing the load factors values correctly when I use it to do a quasi-static analysis of a column? The results after the run are empty? :?
Is it that the command not written right?
#timeSeries Path 1 -dt 0.1 -filePath jiazai.txt
Here is the modelling code for a certain column, but I cannot obtain a correct results:
#

What is the output from the analysis? Does the analysis converge or does the analysis fail?

Your penalty numbers are way too large. Try transformation constraints. What are the contents of the jiazai.txt file?

the results of analysis were analyzed successfully, but the output contents in 06.txt and 16.txt were showed with 0.
the contents of jiazai.txt are as follows:
