Dear Vesna
would you please consider my question? I'm in need of calculating elastic rotations of dipsBeamColumn elements.
Thank you very much

to Amir
yes you can.
but first of all, you should find elastic deformation, which is now my problem.

Thanks dear Taneryilmaz
but my question is : how can I obtain yield curvature?
How can I found it explicitly? would you give me an example?

Dear Vesna
would you please help me?
I need your guidance

I could obtain the curvature of the elements at both ends of them (including plastic and yielding curvature). But the problem is that, I can't obtain the plastic curvature apart from the yielding curvature. would you please give me an example to obtain the yielding curvature apart from the plastic c...

Thank you dear Taneryilmaz I have used fiber elements to model the steel beams and columns, and I could obtain the curvature of the elements at both ends of them (including plastic and yielding curvature). But the problem is that, I can't obtain the plastic curvature apart from the yielding curvature.

Dear Vesna
I really need your guidance

Dear Vesna I want to calculate the plastic rotation of dispBeamColumn element during nonlinear timehistory analyses, I used the below command: recorder Element -file Curvature.out -time -ele 1 section 1 deformation The above recorder gave me the total curvatue of section (icluding the elastic and pl...

Dear Tas
thanks so much for your guidance

Thank you tas and vesna
I have one more question:
I used dispBeamColumn elements, now how can I calculate the curvature value that represent the yielding value of the section * Lp ?
whould you please give me an example?
thanks you again and looking forward to your guidance.

Dear vesna
I need your help

Thank you dear vesna
I have 2 questions:
which column of output file indicates the curvature of section?
how can I calculate the plastic rotation of section from the curvature?
would you please give me an example?
looking forward to your guidance
best regards

how can i calculate curvature to obtain plastic rotation? would
you show me an example please?

Dear Vesna
would you please help me?

Thanks so much dear vesna for replying
would you please tell me how can I recorde curvatures of an element? which command should I use? (My model is a 3-D model of a steel building)

Thanks again
Looking forward to your guidande
