I've succesfully opened .pvd file in Paraview and visualized my model, and yes it can visualize line elements :D . The problem is that now I cannot see deformed shape, because "Warp by vector" option is grayed out in Paraview. I've recorded <disp> in a .pvd file as is said in http://web.en...

Greetings, I am experimenting with pvd recorder and Paraview software. I did succesfully made a pvd file out of my model (model is made of just of nodes and line elements), but when i open it in Paraview, nothing happens. Is it possible to visualize model with just line element (e.g. forceBeamColumn...

Greetings, I want to run OpenSees on Linux machine and I compiled sequential version independently on CentOS on VirtualBox, Debian on VirtualBox and on CentOS on HPC, using appropriate Make.def.EC2 files. When comparing time needed for analysis to complete a job, performance is much worse than on Wi...

Greetings, Is there a general rule, in what situations to use different constraints handlers? And please do not tell me that solution is Trial and Error: use constraint handler that is good for your certain situation :D . I know only that I can not use Transformation method when retained node is not...

You are welcome. For now I don't have any question.
Wish you luck.

Greetings, I’ve modeled simple pinned brace with imperfection and corotational transformation for buckling with two force based beam-column elements. At one end I’ve set controlled displacement with sp constraint. Used materials are, in one case SteelMPF, and in the other Steel02. Problem is that, w...

Greetings,
I think it will be useful ti include rigid offset option for corotational transformation in 3D.
