Convergence problem during dynamic analysis

Post by aenils »

Hi,
my dynamic analysis did not converge at higher scale factor(>1.0).
I have paste output from the opensees.

OpenSees > source dynamic.tcl
Modified Ibarra-Medina-Krawinkler Model with Bilinear Hysteretic Response
T1 = 1.4529628389297984 s
T2 = 0.47566215524762656 s
T3 = 0.2799533036474704 s
T4 = 0.20004944824861562 s
T5 = 0.1603299075092638 s
T6 = 0.1403542008203626 s
Model Built

Let me know the solutions for the problem I am facing.
Thanks

add some alternative algorithms to the nonlinear script in event of failure.
