to be completed

To add a new Element module using the Fortran language, the developer must provide a new Fortran routine for the Element.

Some information about the state of the model is passed as arguments to the element methods. The input arguments are:

  • the element object, eleObj
  • the model state, modl
  • the isw switch, isw, which indicates what action is needed for each invocation of the procedure.

The output arguments are:

  • the tangent stiffness matrix, tang
  • the residual vector, resid
  • the error code, error

The name of the routine is important for the OpenSees interpreter: when it encounters a new element type it will look for a library with the same name of the element.

NOTE: This document assumes the reader is familiar with the Fortran programming language.

Element Routine

It should be noted the command contains all underscores. This is a consequence of the Fortran compiler, which for the compiler used output the procedure is in all lower case. Please note that before calling memory allocated for the pointers the Fortran code must make a call to the Fortran routine c f pointer().

Example - Truss2D

In the following section we will provide all necessary code to add a new 2d planar truss element into an OpenSees interpreter. The stress-strain relationship will be provided by a UniaxialMaterial object. Please refer to the comments inserted in the code for further explanations.
