Hello Lish,

I also need the references for the beam column elements.

Thank you for your prompt reply Silvia.

I shall try to get the solution too. Please post it if any new developments.

With regards,

Aloke

Sorry to jump out in middle. But I am also facing the same problem. I had also thought that way initially as Silvia has put on. But if we put the command "wipeAnalysis" before performing the Transient analysis shouldn't that wipe out any initial curvature from the Gravity Load Analysis ? S...

Hello, The scriptI am running is the one presented in the the OpenSees Documentation User Manual "PR1.tcl" Following is the command as presented in this script: recorder Element -file $RBbt.out -ele 7 node2BarSlipB stressStrain recorder Element -file $RBtp.out -ele 7 node2BarSlipT stressSt...

Hello,

The Stress Strain Recorder is not working. When I try to implement it, gives "Debug Error".

Any suggestions in this matter.

Thank you,

Aloke

Hello, This is regarding Transient Analysis. I am analyzing a reinforced concrete frame. While I perform Transient Analysis, the analysis terminates before the Full time. My total time for analysis is 20 seconds, but the message appears that the analysis failed at time 7.1 seconds. I can still get t...

Hello, Is there any material class or anything that can simulate the Moment Rotation Hinge as defined in ATC-40 to be used in Beam-Column elements. I wish to work on a pushover anlaysis and would like to use it. If somebody has used such a thing, I shall be glad if you can post the commands and give...

Thanks Frank for the efforts.

It consists of many files linked together and I guess cannot be posted. Sorry for this. I have verified the Gravity Load Analysis and I am sure there is nothing wrong till this part. I guess its only the part of Eigenvalue analysis which is giving trouble. I guess, my definition of masses are correc...

Thank you Silvia for your concern, "BandArpackSolver: Maximum Iteration Reached" It does not mention whether it is a fatal error or warning. But it just comes like that. I get highly unlikely values as eigenvectors (-6.23 * 10^66). The Static Pushover analysis works. The transient analysis...

Hello, I am trying to perform an eigen value analysis, but I am getting this message. "BandArpackSolver: Maximum Iteration Reached" Also while performing Transient analysis, it does not converge. Any suggestions regarding this and the type of error with which it is related to. Thank you, W...

Hello, I know this has been a major topic of discussion in this forum. Still, any help shall be appreciated. I tried to verify the Example 3.1 - 3.3 for Transient Analysis. But changing the "Nodal Masses" as they are given in the example to the "Mass Density" produce different re...

Thanks Frank, I figured it out.

Thanks Berk for the solution to my problem.

I wish to use "element nonlinearBeamColumn" and "element beamWithHinges" commands.

But it will better to know about this option to all types of elements.

Thanks.
