about nonlinearbeamcolumn element

[fangming]

Dear professor fmk,

I try to realize an algorithm by modifying the source code of OpenSEES. And when I check the element library, there is no .h file or .cpp file about nonlinearbeamcolumn element. I also generate the doxygen file of the whole codes, finding that no nonlinearbeamcolumn element exits. So my questions are below:

1, has this element been erased from the source code ? if yes, what's the reason ?

2, if I want to use this kind of element, where can I find another one instead ?

PS: my source codes is from svn co svn://opensees.berkeley.edu/usr/local/svn/OpenSees/trunk OpenSees 5528
and makefile is /MAKES/Makefile.def.EC2-UBUNTU ./Makefile.def

Thanks very much.

The "nonlinearBeamColumn" element is and always has been the force beam column element. It was a badly chosen name for an argument in the element command that has since been fixed, aka changed to forceBeamColumn .. though for backward compatability it is still there.
