Hi, I tried to obtain stress and strain for a reinforced concrete section, but I got results only for reinforcing steel, while for concrete the stress is zero; I'm sure that is a mistake but I don't know where. Below are atached the 2 files: 1'st file proc MomentCurvature {secTag axialLoad maxK {num...

this is a beam with hinges element, but I am also interested about the plastic rotation of the other elements.

Hi, I trying to understand what means all the collumns from recorder Element -file ele1Rot.out -time -ele 1 plasticRotation for a 3 D Frame. As I understood: in 2 D=> load increment plastic axial deformation plastic rotation in 1'st node plastic rotation in 2'nd node As I understand: in 3 D=> 1)load...

I tried to understand what is the direction of a distributed load - using ele load beamuniform command - on a cantilever column. So first I put a horisontal joint (concentrated) load (using -load- command)at the free end of the collumn to establish the positive bending moment, then I used -ele load ...

Dear all users, I try to obtain F-D (force - displacement) diagram after a pushover analysis but the result files are empty despite the fact that the pushover analysis is completed successfully: Something is wrong, but I do not know what: Here are the 3 files so you could run the analysis: # OpenSee...

two updates: 1. the cut and paste may have not worked because there is an extra space before deformations.... weird, I know. 2. From the element author: "It's the plastic deformations of the basic system. So, the extra output in column two is the plastic axial deformation, while three and four...

what result did you get? I put in the following, and removed your strange hinge Rotation command: # Create a recorder to monitor element forces in columns recorder Element -file ele1Global.out -time -ele 1 globalForce recorder Element -file ele1Rotat.out -time -ele 1 plasticRotation I got some outp...

try recorder Element -file ele1Rot.out –time -ele 1 plasticRotation As the name suggests, you'll get plastic rotation, not the total rotation of the hinges... Hi, Thank you for your help ,but unfortunately the result is the same as previously. :( . Do you have an example where you used this command...

i just ran your file, put in a node recorder and got nothing either. please check you model and let me know how it goes. :( pls help me :cry: I just run another cantilever model in which I include a pushover analysis and I assured that the plastic hinges were formed (with the help of displacements ...

I tried to obtain a hinge rotation (for a simple countilever -defined as beam with hinges element0 but the file is empty.Why? and there is another way to obtain hinge rotation? Here I attach thr file: # OpenSees Example Consola1 # OpenSees Primer # # Units: kN, m, sec # Define model builder # ------...

I tried to model a simple countilever with the help of beam with hinges element and i wanted to obtain the HINGE rotation but there are no results. There is a way to obtain hinge rotation with another element? Here I attach the file: # OpenSees Example Consola1 # OpenSees Primer # # Units: kN, m, s...

I tried to model a simple countilever with the help of beam with hinges element and i wanted to obtain the rotation but there are no results. There is somoane who know how can I get the rotation? Here I attach the file: # OpenSees Example Consola1 # OpenSees Primer # # Units: kN, m, sec # Define mod...
