Thanks a lot.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your quick response.

I'm using the "ShellMITC4" element. The eleType returns UnknownMovableObject and getEleClassTags returns 53.

The line element objects, namely dispBeamColumn3D and TrussSection elements work fine.

Thanks,
Gopal

Hello,

I'm wondering whether 'eleType' command is implemented for quad or similar elements?
I found it works with zerolength and line elements.

Thanks,

Hello again, I am modelling a SSPquadUP element. Bottom nodes are fixed for displacement and top nodes are fixed for pore pressure only. ops.fix(1, 1, 1, 0) ops.fix(2, 1, 1, 0) ops.fix(3, 0, 0, 1) ops.fix(4, 0, 0, 1) When I requested nodeDOF for all nodes, I got this output, as expected. [-1, -1, 5]...

Thanks Prof.

It is now working in parallel with a very soft elastic spring under monotonic loading. But the material models work fine under a cyclic loading though, without any need of a soft elastic spring.

cheers,

Hi all, I noted that a vtk recorder is available in the source code, but there is no documentation available. I am wondering whether someone can help with the vtk recorder. I'm using PyVista for visualization purpose. If I can get a VTK formatted output,I dont have to write a script for conversion. ...

Thanks Professor Scott.

Hello,

Thanks Prof Scott. I tried with nodeDOFs(nodeTag). Below is a part of my code.
This outputs

Hi all,

I am wondering whether I can extract information about the fixity condition of nodes from an analysis model, similar to node mass (nodeMass(nodeTag)).

Hi there, I was trying to use Hyperbolic Gap and Elastic PP Gap material in my analysis of a bridge abutment. It appears both models are not working with OpenSeesPy. I used both materials few years ago with tcl scripts. I am wondering whether I made any mistake in defining the material models. Below...

Thanks Michael and Selim.

Appreciate your help. I will try the script and let you know how it goes.

thanks,

Dear Professor, There are a few number of steel sections, not all 40 piles are different. I will assign the residual stress pattern only to four sections. However, I am not sure how to define this stress pattern. I understand Steel02 can be defined with initial stress value. My plan now is to define...

Hi all, I am carrying out a second order analysis of a wharf with lots of steel H-piles. I was thinking of using Steel02 material with initial stress parameter to include the effect of residual stress pattern. However, the approach would be quite cumbersome since the wharf has about 40 piles. I am w...

HI Frank

Do you have the same for Mac OS X?

Yes you can do that. You can ask eigenvalue analysis at the end of each pushover step.
