Dear all,
Can anyone help in creating a loop for this analysis where I have to get the displacement data for increasing mass values.

I'm a Beginner at OPENSEES. Please HELP

Dear Hwoarang, Thank you very much for your speedy reply. Yes, Matlab and excel are good but how will I record the displacement values. Also my for loop isnt working no matter what i try. "# SET UP wipe; # clear opensees model model basic -ndm 2 -ndf 3; # 2 dimensions, 3 dof per node file mkdir...

Dear All, How can i find the maximum peak value from output data that i get after analysis? The output,say DBase.out, contains time and displacement data of a node and i want to find the maximum displacement. Also i want to do this in a loop and find the peak response for various iterations and plot...

Dear Jhno,

Thank you, but that was were i had trouble.
I don't know the codes for providing initial conditions like displacement.

Hello All, I'm trying to analyse and get the curve of free vibration in a simple cantilever column fixed at the base. Is it possible? I'm looking for ways to input initial conditions in order to cause the vibration, but all examples only show dynamic analysis when ground motion is provided. Also in ...

Hello All, I have been trying to design a cantilever column model with a certain mass to represent free vibration. But all the examples and discussions I've seen are either of Dynamic analysis where there is ground acceleration or Static Pushover analysis with a static load. I need to provide initia...
