Hi all,

Do you know what is the firsr coordinate of the orientation vector in zeroLength element? Is it the the global origin?

Hi all,

I have got the same response from my bridge model when I am applying my ground motion in both longitudinal (dir. 1) and Transverse (dir. 2) by "pattern UniformExcitation" command.
Can you give me some guidance?

Thanks

Hi all, When I download OpenSeesNavigator 2.5 and follow the instruction to start. as the last step, I should write the OpenSeesNavigator in Matlab command window, but after that I receive the following error from Matlab: ">> ?? File "C:\Documents and Settings\Payman\Desktop\OpenSees\OpenS...

Hi all I have a bridge model. To push over analysis, I use the OpenSees example file for push over analysis. In these example you define Dmax (maximum displacement of pushover) as a factor of column length (0.1*Lcol). When I use low Dmax (less than 0.5*L) I have good result, the program does not tra...

Thanks Hugo for your guidance!

Thank you Silvia

I used the print command and it wrks but what I exactly need is a file which can be used as an input data for my Matlab code: each line in that txt file should have the following format:
Node number _ X coordinate - Y coordinate - Z coordinate

Hi all,

Can I have an output file (made by recorder) from opensees that contains only nodal information as follows:

Node number- X,Y and Z coordinate of nodes


Thanks
Peyman
