I have a an beam element with 5 section(intP = 5):

element forceBeamColumn 1 1 3 $geo FixedLocation $intP $IntSecP $IntlocP

How can i recorder the Displacement in section 3 ?

add a load command after eleload command like this:
[b]
element nonlinearBeamColumn 3 3 4 $numIntgrPts $BeamSecTag $ColTransfTag

pattern Plain 1 "Linear" {
eleLoad -ele 3 -type -beamUniform -1 ; # distributed superstructure-weight on beam
load 2 0. 0. 0.
}
[/b]

use "wipe" command when you start a tlc file. For clear previous data.

For example, i have a 2D RC frame portal. I need to make a static analysis with an assimetric reinforced steel beam and a eleLoad. i can do this?

1) with element elasticBeamColumn?
2) with element nonlinearBeamColumn?
3) with element beamWithHinges?

My code is : [b] element nonlinearBeamColumn 3 3 4 $numIntgrPts $BeamSecTag $ColTransfTag pattern Plain 1 "Linear" { eleLoad -ele 3 -type -beamUniform -1 ; # distributed superstructure-weight on beam } [/b] And Opensees.exe return [b] expected integer but got "-type" [/b] i Try t...
