Hi i am performing nonlinear TH analysis.
I want to stop the analysis after occurrence of fatigue to save time and reduce time of analysis. I get this message after the moment which fatigue occurs:
FatigueMaterial: material tag 3 failed at pseudo peak

Hi every one! I can get the eigen values of model easily by the following command: puts "eigen values at start of transient: [eigen $NStory]" It yields the Nstory eigen values. the problem is the values show great difference with the values obtained by the recorder command: recorder Node -...

any body?

Dear Frank I did this: set numModes [expr $NStory] for { set k 1 } { $k <= $numModes } { incr k } { recorder Node -file mode.out -nodeRange 10 [expr ($NStory+1)*10+$NBay+1] -dof 1 2 3 "eigen $k" } Actually i have tried to save all the modes in one file after this i realized there is nothin...

Hi, I have faced some serious problems in my modal analysis as following: Error: couldn't open modes/Periods.txt no such file or directory while executing 'open $w period' my code consists of a tall building: Thanks in advance for the help. wipe model BasicBuilder -ndm 2 -ndf 3 source Wsection.tcl s...

hi is there anyway that i can check my section properties in order to make sure my section is ok? my script for double channel section is : proc DoubleChannelSection {secID matID d bf tf tw ax nfdw nftw nfbf nftf} { # ################################################################### # DoubleChanne...

Hello!
I am running a linear analysis, what i am worried about is i havent found any material which provides moment - rotation diagram and the material should be consistent with semi rigid connections, i would be pleased if any one could help.
thanks!

thanks alot is there a command for obtaining iFpush in # create node and load vectors for lateral-load distribution in static analysis set iFPush "" set iNodePush "" for {set level 2} {$level <=[expr $NStory+1]} {incr level 1} { set FPush [lindex $iFj [expr $level-1-1]]; # latera...

Hi! I have downloaded the script from berkeleys website this code is about analyzing n bay n story steel structure what i am wondering about is the lines which are about calculating lateral load it seems that these scripts are developed only for the calculation of lateral loads and these loads are n...

Hi!
I would like to know whether it is possible to model semi rigid connections or not?
If so, is the "spring2dmodelKModel" good choice?
And when we are performing a linear analysis is this a wise choice?
Thanks !

Hi! I am optimizing a high rise steel structure with outriggers using GA. now the main problem is designing of structure elements like outriggers and beams and columns. as long as there is no design process in opensees and i am linking matlab to opensees for the optimization process i would like to ...

Hello! As I said before i was looking forward to optimizing of high-rise structures using opensees and ofcourse the optimizing process using GA (algorithm) requires MAtlab too. so the problem is linking these too, and I would like to know the opensees will confirm the programing codes of MATLAB or n...

Thanks a lot. I will be waiting for your good news.
