The OpenSees Community

I have had problems transferring DLLs generated from my Win 7 PC(64bit) to any other machine (even a nearly identical Win 7 PC(64bit) systems as well). When I place the new DLL in a folder with the OpenSees executable, it seems like OpenSees does not recognize the DLL, although this works perfectly ...

Yes, I am certainly planning to contribute these models to the source code. I am working on a paper with their formulation and will try to get bug free versions of these bearing element models later this year.
Thanks,

occumnaponi, Thanks for your reply, I have looked at the documentation on the wiki that was uploaded some time ago, and it is quite comprehensive of the bearing behaviors and use in OpenSees. I have also worked on creating my own bearing element models and I am now using these, as I get more reasona...

Hi, I have been working on creating an adaptive time stepping algorithm that not only switches between algorithms, but would ideally switch to explicit integration with a small step size in certain cases of very high nonlinearity. Unfortunately, I am not able to obtain reasonable results with explic...

I have been trying to use the new OpenSees 2.2.0 element models: 1 FlatSlider2D and 3D - (particularly interested in the different friction models) 2 ElastomericBearing 3 FrictionPendelum So far I have been using the source code as reference, but I have not been able to obtain realistic behavior/res...
