Problem with simple beam

Post by Wilbur »

HI,everyone!I have tried static analysis of a simple beam and i want to plot the force&deformation located in the middle of the beam ,the stress&strian curve of the pressed-concrete and tensiled-steel fiber. i am puzzled with the command of the system.While i do the analysis,it just stop and give me the problem as follows :? :

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING BandGenLinLapackSolver::solve() -LAPACK routine returned 1
WARNING NewtonRaphson::solveCurrentStep() -the LinearSysOfEqn failed in solve()
StaticAnalysis:: analyze() - the Algorithm failed at iteration: 0 with domain at load factor 0.1
OpenSees > analyze failed, returned: -3 error flag
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i've tried to change the type of the solve system but it didn't work.here is my scripts,hope that you could give my some suggestions,Thank you!

some problems found from the parameters and the model itself -not enough definition,finally it work,thanks.

Hi.

Can you please tell me the modifications made by you in the above model that made it run.

Your help will be appreciated

Thank you
