Dear NALLAGATLABHAGYASREE,

Have you solve it?
Please tell me how you solve this problem.

Dear selimgunay,

Thank you very much for your reply.
Ok, I will try using your recommendation.

Dears,

I am also facing the same problem.
Is there an effective way to model parallel spring and dashpot model in OpenSees?

Assigning two ZeroLength elements is not working.

I am using OpenSees and winkler spring to represent the foundation. Since my ground shaking is not intense, I have chosen 'Foundation condition = 3' which is elastic vertical and horizontal springs. Could you please tell me how OpenSees considers soil radational damping when I choose 'Foundation con...

Dear ZVaghefi, In your previous post, you stated the following idea: "If the spring behavior is elastic, I use elastic material for them and add dashpot elements parallel to vertical springs in order to provide radiation damping. The damping of each dashpot is calculated in such a way as to pro...

Dear selimgunay,

Thank you very much!

Dears, I have modeled a 2D elastic frame in OpenSees. I want to get capacity curve with clear maximum value of force. when I change the value Umax even to unrealistic large value, it gives me a result. It doesn't converge. Could you please help me on how to make it fix. Thank you in advance. Here is...
