Dear guidomac,
Thanks for your sharing.

Dear Vesna, in adaptive pushover analysis, lateral force patterns is updated in every step. here is part of my code: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% wipe; model Basic -ndm 3 -ndf 6; file mkdir Data; source unit.tcl source grouppilesfoundationmodal.tcl recorder Node -file D...

Dear Vesna, i have the same converge problems in my model.
adding -iter option to the element didn't work.
tweaking the section worked well.
Thank you for your guidence.
Happy new year!

Dear Vesna,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I checked the multi-linear material.
It is what i wanted.
I really appreciated your help.

Dear all, I have two qustions about the Hysteretic material, 1. Is it possible to define more than three points for this material, i.e. 5 or 6 points? 2. If the answer of question 1 is NO. I am thinking about defining more points with the Parallel material. Such as: set matTag1 1; set matTag2 2; set...

Thank you, Vesna.
I am very clear now.

Dear Vesna, Thank you very much. You are very warmhearted. The phenomenon i am saying is: The periods that calculated after gravity load is longer than the periods that calculated before gravity load. I think after the gravityloads are counted, the structure should be stiffer. consequently, the peri...

Dear all, i find a strange phenomenon. for the eigen analysis, the period is smaller when the eigen analysis of a structure is conducted with gravityloads, compared with the period when the eigen analysis of a structure is conducted without gravityloads. the "Ex3.Canti2D.build.InelasticFiberSec...

Dear Vesna,
Thank you for replying me so quickly.
I revised the commander as:
"set tag [recorder Node -file Data/Eigenvector$i.out -nodeRange 1 46 -dof 1 "eigen 1"]
remove recorder $tag"
It works.
I appreciated your help.
Best wishes!

Dear all,
In the order of "remove recorder $tag ",
how the tag of recorder is defined?
ie. recorder Node -file Data/Eigenvector$i.out -nodeRange 1 46 -dof 1 "eigen 1"
how can i define the tag of the recorder?
Thanks.

Dear Vesna, i am confused about your comments on recorder of plastic rotation of BWH element. in the two post of "I cant record rotation and stiffness for beamwithhinges"(2006) and "beamwithhinges element recorder"(2010), you said: "beamWithHinges element does not have recor...

will you give me your email please,
i will send you a PDF about it.

Dear Vesna and other users, if i want to compute the plastic rotation of nonlinearbeamcolumn element, how can i caputure it with the sectiondeformations? for an nonlinearbeamcolumn element with 5 Nps, do i have to output all the sectiondeformations first, then split the recorder files to compute the...

Dear silva,
i see lots of users want the order to caputur plastic rotations for the 3 beamcolumn elements,
would you please consider about provide recorders or examples on this.
Thanks a lot.

Thank you Vesna.
I see.
