I think you mean to define a "general section", however, I will do nonlinear analysis. Your suggestion is valid for elastic analysis ?

Hi, I am trying to do moment curvature analysis of an L shape RC column by using fiber section but I could not get any meaningful results. Is it possible to do it in OPENSEES? May there be problems with unsymmetric bending or do you have any advice about how to define an unsymmetric RC section with ...

I try to get the accurate results by modifying the mesh size in a cantilever beam (nonlinear beam column element). The section dimension is 600mm x 600mm. I do dynamic analyses (lumped mass at the top) by defining 10 x 10, 20 x 20, 30 x 30, 40 x 40, 50 x 50 and 60 x 60 meshes ("quad"comman...

I read your previous messages about the number of integration points that 4-5 integration points is the optimum place to start. However, I did many nonlinear-static and dynamic analyses for a "nonlinear beam column" element (a cantilever column) with integration points 3,4,5....10, but I c...
