Dear Vensa, Recently I face with a problem that is related to time. I apply an earthquake to a 2-D frame. Due to convergence problems I use the method that is recommended in one of the tutorials which is to change the algorithm (Linear, KrylovNewton, Newton,...) during the analyze if a convergence p...

Hi dear sir/madame, I just only wanna create a rigid element between two points which do not deform at all. I tried to create a normal elasticbeamcolumn element type and assign a very big value for the modulus of elasticity. However, it doesn't work (or at least It comes to me so) and I receive very...

Thanks so much

I wonder how I can run the opensees directly from the EditPlus? I couldn't find any solution.

Hello, I have two questions about using of the BeamwithHinges element type when you specify an end-rigid offset to the element: 1. When we use BeamwithHinges element type and define end-rigid zone rigid offset to both ends, then how does the Lp is calculated? Does it calculated like the case there i...
