Thanks,
I think I found the problem. The Brick elements can't have 6DOF.
Can I have to model builder for example one for a 3DOF system and one for 6DOF system in one script?

Hi, I am modeling a very simple continuum system under dynamic load. very simple cubic shape with fixed base and uniform excitation. It works fine when my ndof is 3 but it gives error in ndof=6 saying "ProfileSPDLinDirectSolver::solve() - aii (0, (i, aii): (54,0) WARNING NewtonRaphson::solveCur...

Hi Frank, Did you get a chance to look at my script to see where the source memory error is?

Thanks Frank,

It seems that the memory usage keeps increasing. My model is very simple it is only one element.
Here is the script.

Hi, I have a problem when I am running my model in opensees. I have a loop where certain analysis is repeated inside. When I increase the number of loop increments I get the "out of memory" error while I don't have it if the number of the loop increment is lower than a certain value. Even ...

Hi,

After performing static analysis and before dynamic analysis, I want to zero the displacements, velocities and accelerations while keeping the element parameters such as stresses. Is there a way or a command to do that?

Thanks,
Majid

Thanks Frank, It was a great help. I have still one problem in this regard. These commands work perfectly when I have a *.txt file ready before running the program, but it doesn't work when I make the *.txt file inside the code. For example if I make a *.txt file using a recorder and then analyze th...

Hi,

Is there a way to track the stress value at a specific gauss point during the analysis?
"eleResponse" command put all the values in a file. Is there a way to get the values directly?

Thanks,

Hi,

I want to read values from a file. Can anyone tell me what command I should use?
The command "read" gets the whole numbers from a file as a string but I want numbers in an array or in a numerical format.

Hi,

I am trying to model the same problem.
How did you model a simple shear test?
Where and how did you applied the motion?

Thanks,
