As a mater of fact, I did. But this material does not give a transition as smooth as steel2 nor strain hardening capabilities. Until the steel2 code is changed or reprogrammed from scratch, I guess I will have to use the hysteretic uniaxialmaterial... Any other ideas would be welcomed. Thank you so ...

Initial stress (or stain) in uniaxial ductile materials

Dear Developers, I am now using Opensees to model the behavior of steel columns under seismic loads using the Steel02 material with fiber sections. I noticed that the uniaxialMaterial ElasticPP offers the option to specifie initial strains while the other types of ductile materials do not. I think i...
