it seems that it's impossible to use my soil behavior code in OpenSees

[to fmk and anyone can help]
hi
I developed a new 3Dmaterial for modelling the soil behaviour in C++. But I don’t know how to use it in opensees 2.4.3. can you tell me how can I use this material?

thanks alot

if the collapse factor is for example $gmf=10 then 10/50=0.2 would be a good value for steps. 50 steps is enough I think.

try drift control between end nods!

it depends to your structure and ground motions under study try large numbers first like 10 to 15, see if your structure collapse or not. I don't thing for available records and ordinary frames, larger number would be necessary. but for weak structures an scale factor about 4 can cause side collapse...

that's so kind of you dear fmk
here is the script needed!

uniaxialMaterial Bilin 88 $K $alpha $alpha $My [expr -1.00*$My] 0.5 3.000 5.000 0.9 0.4 0.8 1.00 0.6 $dp $dp $dpc $dpc 0.25 0.25 5.00 5.00 0.1 0.1

element zeroLength 34 1 11 -mat 88 -dir 6

I hope that's enough

Hi I've just downloaded OpenSees 2.4.1, but I faced a serious problem! the last version which I work with was 2.3.2.2 and I had been verified and EBF's Link performance using uniaxialMaterial Bilin befor I downloaded version 2.4.0. the interesting part is that the same thing that I wrote now runs co...

Thanks alot dear fmk
