I would like to use absorbing boundaries in a soil model coded using OpenSeesPy. These are modeled as 2D or 3D elements. Documentation (as well as a TCL example) is available at: https://opensees.github.io/OpenSeesDocumentation/user/manual/model/elements/ASDAbsorbingBoundary.html I have not been abl...

Thank you very much!

Hello, I would like to visualize an OpenSeesPy geotechnical model (i.e., with UCSD quad materials plus constraints) in Paraview and have tried to implement the PVD recorder as indicated in the OpenSeesPy online documentation, but this does not go through as I receive a warning that "the PVD rec...

Hello,
Is it possible to plot equalDOF constraints using opsvis?
Thanks.

Hello, I have created quadrilateral meshes using op.mesh('quad', etc. and am able to successfully assign 'tri31' elements of 'ElasticIsotropic' materials. When I try to assign 'PressureIndependMultiYield' materials, the routine crashes and I receive an error message "Restarting kernel..." ...

The mesh command creates a node with tag 5 Alternatively, I could implement the meshing algorithm for each of the boundary shapes and retrieve the set of nodes generated during meshing, then start with a new boundary by increasing the node tag by 1. I'll see if I am able to retrieve existing nodes ...

The mesh command creates a node with tag 5 Hello Michael, thanks for clarifying. If I understand correctly, I guess I should define all the container shapes (rectangles, rhombuses) defining the geometry recursively in a first step and subsequently perform the meshing. The challenging part seems to ...

Hello, I am setting up the geometry of a soil model using OpenSeesPy, defining consecutive layered rectangles for subsequent meshing and iteratively defining the vertices of the recatngles and node tags. Running the code at the bottom of the post results in the error "Domain::addNode - node wit...
