Thank you! That solves my question. I appreciate your help!

I am not sure if I understand your question, but I am not changing those parameters. Since it is a 2D model I am defining the coordinate transformation as:

geomTransf Linear 1

Hello,

Is it possible in OpenSees to display the time it takes the computer to finish an analysis? For example, that after running a specific code a message appears saying "run time: 105 sec"

Thank you!

Hello, Thank you for your response. I did a test using 0 axial load and I keep obtaining the same results. I am able to get reasonable results when I invert the orientation of the Y axis (with respect to this scheme for local coordinates https://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index.php/File:ElementOrien...

Hello! I am modeling a cantilever circular column using the fiber section approach. The element is being pushed by a horizontal force at its tip, oriented towards X+ direction, and has a constant axial load. The rebar layer is uniformly distributed throughout the perimeter (45 deg angle between reba...

Thank you! That was very helpful!

Hi,
I'm new in OpenSees. Regarding this query, can you please explain the difference between using nonlinear, force, and disp BeamColumn Elements? I read that they consider the distribution of plasticity along the elements but I'm not sure which one is more convenient.

Thank you!
