OpenSees Example 1a. 2D Elastic Cantilever Column: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:48, 11 November 2009

Example 1a is a simple model of an elastic cantilever column. The objective of this example is to give an overview of input format.

While the structural model is the same, there are two lateral-load cases:

Objectives
overview of basic OpenSees input structure coordinates, boundary conditions, element connectivity, nodal masses, nodal loads, etc. two-node, one element
