Hello all, I was wondering if at the moment it is possible to run OpenSeespy as in OpenSeesSP (parallel processing without user defined partitions). Then, I found the presentation by Dr. Minjie, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjGm2kM5Ihc I followed the examples provided in the presentation. In part...

Yes, I actually already read it. Equation 19 in the paper is the same equation as the one in the documentation. beta>=1/4+1/2(alpha_f-alpha_m). I just thought that these could be some other parameters introduced in OpenSees for some reason. For example, alpha_M = 1-alpha_m (it is different that one ...

Dear all, I was wondering if the parameters in point 5 are correct or not in the documentation (gamma_M and gamma_F). I cannot understand where do they come from. In fact, I was wondering whether they are alpha_M and alpha_F or not. https://openseespydoc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/src/generalizedAlpha...
