It runs fine on my machine (with the newest version of OpenSees 2.5.0), but when I pass along the DLL file it doesn't run on another machine (also running 2.5.0 with the same 32/64 architecture).

The modelling is running as expected, I'm using a visual display and I can see the nodes moving and there are no errors, but afterwards when I go to check the output it only has the time value. My first thought was that my recorder had an non existent type (displacement, f...

I have set up a twoNodeLink element in a model and I'm recording its force and localDisplacement using element recorders. After the transient analysis (and a good wipe!) I check my output files but the displacement recorder only has the time stamps. Any thoughts? More details: I'm modelling and EBF ...

I have begun developing a new bearing element, based on a stiffness matrix which is dependent on the axial load, but I'm having issues getting the axial load. I was attempting to use getUnbalancedLoad() during ::setDomain() in order to get the initial axial load to be used to return the initial stif...
