Hi, Does anybody know how I can change parameters of an element once a certain displacement limit has reached. In other words: 1) How can I monitor the deformation of an element (say that of a linear beam column element)during the course of dynamic analysis 2) Then is it possible to redefine the ele...

Hi all, I am trying to define a shear limit curve object to be used with limit state material. I need some advice or references to set up the relevant parameters. Anybody can explain about : 1)when should we use positive value for $Kdeg and when negative value for this parameter? 2)What are we actua...

Hi. Is there a way to simulate rocking behavior of an object in OpenSees?
