Hello, What is the problem below when I have compiled an executable opensees file and how can I fix it? Its version is 5397 (latest). 27>_PrepareForClean: 27> Deleting file ".\..\..\obj\openSees\release\OpenSees.lastbuildstate". 26>Build started 7/19/2013 2:35:50 AM. 25>Build started 7/19/...

Hello, I want to implement dll files in OpenSees. However, those files work in the older version of executable opensees. I can download only the latest version via the website. Actually, I am finding opensees 2.1.0v7 and how can I get it? Thank you in advance.

Structure is a beam column assemblage with + type shape.
I want to impose displacement at both end of beams in the opposite direction (one's up and the other down), how can I impose these displacements?

Thanks..

The cyclic testing specimen was subjected to varying axial load porportional to horizontal force.
In gravity analysis, I want to consider varying axial load (not constant value) in static cyclic analysis.

How do I impose the varying axial load?

Yes, vesna

I have a text file for static cyclic analysis.
In the my case, the loading pattern [displacement vs. time (or frequency)] at top of column is irregular (kind of sine curve), so I made a text file.

I want to use reversed cyclic sine function with different peak values every loading cycle for static cyclic pushover analysis. I already had the displacement values as input motion (text file). The loading is applied at the top of the column. But I couldn't find this kind of example in OpenSees man...

Thank you. I moved my recorder and then I got load-displacement curve at node 10.
However, I am trying to obtain the stress-strain relationships in the recorder command, but the code doesnot work.
How do I change the format of the element recorder to get the stress-strain values in the recorder?

I am studying the beam column joint model in the OpenSees Manual. I am running an example in the Mannual, but I couldn't get output files (recorder). How can I get the output files?

vesna, Elastic-perfectly plastic gap material only provides the response of one direction (positive or negative hysteresis). But, my material model has negative and positive yielding, not zero force at the last point of unloading. In other words, the force decreases with reducing displacement until ...

To represent the behavior of shear key, I want to use Coloumb friction model. This model has initial gap and after yielding, hardening factor is zero. This is Hardening model with initial gap. How do I use this model in OpenSees.
