Adding an Element Using MATLAB

[salehi]

Hello everyone,

I have developed a force-based nonlinear beam-column element in MATLAB, but I want to use OpenSees as the FE framework to use that element in 2D structural analysis. I am just wondering if it is possible to make it happen; do I have to rewrite the MATLAB code in C++ or Fortran, or I may somehow call the MATLAB function by OpenSees?

I have already tried to figure out how I may add my element to OpenSees library using C++, but after looking at the source codes of a few already-added elements, I got confused! If I have no other choice for the programming apart from C, C++, and Fortran, please let me know what is the best source to learn how I may add my element using C++. Thanks so much.

Best regards,
Mohammad

c or fortran might be easier .. look at the examples in OpenSees/DEVELOPER/element
