Thank you!

hello every body, now i have a problem , if some commad is so long that i can't complet the command by one line script，and how should i define a newline in a single command?

thank you for your advice , Haraldinho! so i still have some problem. if i use beam with hinges element,how long the hinge length is? on the other hand,if i use Zero-Length Elements,how should i define the element property.in the Zero Length Element Examples manual,i don't know the reason of define ...

Dear silvia
can you tell me how define hinge joint of column-beam?
thank you !

and in the pushover drift record document ,the drift have a great change in some time such as 1.06375 -0.00623771 1.06375 -0.00623771 1.06376 -0.00623771 1.06376 -0.00623775 1.06377 -0.00623777 1.06377 -0.00623779 1.06377 -0.0062378 1.06377 -0.00623782 1.06379 -0.00623804 1.06385 -0.0062387 1.06382 ...

my problem is the pushover analysis can not converge.what i doing is the 2ed shape modal pushover,i hope to get some help from you to improve the procedure(converge)

hi every body i am having a convergence problem when do a pushover analysis,and how can i do to improve the convergence? thank you ! wipe # Define the model builder model BasicBuilder -ndm 2 -ndf 3 # Define nodes and constraints source nodesandconstraints.tcl #Define materials and Section source mat...

dear Silvia:
why we get completl different period when using different version?

silvia,Limit State Material has not added in opensees1.7.3,has it?
Limit State Material can not work, How shoud I do next ?

yes
How can I difine a uniaxialMaterial and get nonlinear results and diagrams? can you help me ?
thank you very much !

hi everyone! I am a new leaner of opensees in china , I am my master paper about modelling bending-shear-axial interaction in a finite-beam element,i use the model of nonlinearBeamColumn and add a Hysteretic uniaxialMaterial to fiber section with aggregrator command,but the result is disillusionary ...

hi everyone ! I want to modal a portal frame with shear deformation.i use the model of nonlinearBeamColumn and add a Uniaxial-Material to fiber section with aggregrator command.but whether i add the Uniaxial-Material the diagram of shear stress-shear strain is linear all the same. :( How can I get n...

why a frame have totaly different eigen value when i use version 1.66 and 1.73.

hello silvia.what does the follow message mean? how can i modify the mode to solve this problem? thank you! mfpackGenLinSOE::setSize - n 186 nnz 2412 lVal 48240 WARNING - ForceBeamColumn2d::update - failed to get compatible element forces & deformations for element: 16(dW: << -0.000325218) WARNI...
