Hello Frank,

They have the CentOS version 6.4 operating system and gcc 4.3.6 compiler suite. It’s an older version of the compiler that is needed for matlab compatibility.

Thanks,

Hello Frank, Thanks for your response. These errors I am getting are for the example in Addingyourcode.pdf file. I have obtained the entire directory along with ElasticPPcpp.cpp and ElasticPPcpp.h files from the svn repository and have not made any changes there. I am trying to run those very files ...

Hello, I am trying to add a new material in a Linux environment. I have already done so on Windows. For the purpose I started with the example in AddingYourCode.pdf. I have been able to generate the .so file, but the new material ElasticPPcpp is not found by OpenSees. I searched on the forum and fou...

I sent the mail again. Kindly let me know if you do not receive it.

Yes, but if it is defined in a certain order, it works alright. I sent the files to OpenSees moderators. I am yet to hear from them. However, it is possible that they have taken care of it in the latest version 2.4.0. I have not worked with it yet.

Hello, I am facing a problem with the parameter command. The relevant portion of the code is posted below. ******************************* uniaxialMaterial Steel01 1 $sigmaY $E_Steel 0.000000000000001; uniaxialMaterial Steel01 2 [expr 128097.6*$accelGravity*$Mu_Ref] $E_Steel 0.0000000000001; uniaxia...

I tried finding her contact yesterday. Can you help me with that?

But, how does it depend on boundary condition? I have anyway given my code in the other post. Please take a look and let me know if changing the boundary condition will fix the problem.

I feel that as coefficient of friction is increased, the maximum elastic force should increase proportionately.

I have some problem with TFP element output. My set up is the simplest possible, a two noded structure with both nodes fixed in horizontal direction. One of the nodes is being given cyclic displacement using SP command. I kept the axial load fixed at 1.5 MN, coefficients of friction at the exterior ...

Vesna, can you please check if the new commands are working? I am getting the other element outputs (force) all the columns. However, here is what I am getting when I ask for relativeDisp. I have two different structures, and I am getting numbers for static and dynamic both analyses. Not for the rel...

Thanks a lot Vesna.

However, can you please also tell what I am missing in the approach of making .dll file? It might help later if I want to take some output from some other element.

I tried the other way too. I kept the name of files TFPManish.cpp, TFPManish.h and TFPManish was the class name. In the .cpp and .h files I replaced very instance of TFP_Bearing with TFPManish. Obtained the .dll file. Result is still the same.

Hello Vesna, Here is what I tried to do. I used the 24-step procedure to create a file named TFP_Bearing.dll. This is what is the name of .cpp and .h files. Firstly, I tried without making any changes in original TFP_Bearing.cpp and TFP_Bearing.h files. I got the .dll file. I took that file to my fo...
