Modelling an infill-frame in OpenSees

Post by sonamd »

Hi there
I am new to OpenSees. So, it is a bit complicated for me. However,I am trying to model an infill frame in OpenSees in an In-plane loading condtion (Out of plane loading is bit far for me now!). I went through the example given in the OpenSees website and I found that it is complex. I mean it is a coding for IP and OOP interaction and removal of element when time history load is applied. I am looking for a simpler coding for an infill frame in an in-plane loading condition with the diagonal modelled as a truss element. Can anyone help me with this please and send the coding to snmdorji09@gmail.com? Thanks

if you just want in-plane loading and want to model with trusses and beams i suggest you model it yourself .. it is a rather trivial model and will help you learn OpenSees in doing so.

I have infilled frame 3d model and, in order to model the infill elements, I used Mosalam2008 which is according to Opensees infill element. Also, I have applied removal infill element command and, it does pushover analysis for 2, 3, 4, 5-storey well. But, when I want to develop it to 6-storey or more, it gives the following error and it remove the infill elements in the first step of iteration, then it dose pushover without infills.
ForceBeamColumn3d::getResponse() file for infill wall (Dispwall1.tcl could not be opened)
could you please give me some hints. I checked every thing in my model but i could not find any reason for that. what are the main issues in dealing with removal element command to take care about? Thx

Can you please share the coding for modelling an infill by yourself.
