How to remove an element failed from analysis_2

[cvatansever]

Dear McKenna,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I know that the "remove" command can be used for this process. I also think that we have to put some conditions to provide the code with the time when the element fails. So, how can we provide required procedure in the code to remove the element ? Is it enough to use "remove" and "recorder" commands ? If yes, how ?

Thanks again.

if you know the commands and you know how the scripting language works why are you asking this question?? they just go in the script or you could program the check in a procedure that removed ele if needed,

e.g.
proc checkAndRemoveEle{$eleTag $failCriteria} {
set res [eleResponse $eleTag something]
if {$res > $failCriteria} {
remove element $eleTag
}
}


for {set i 1} {$i < $numStep} {incr i 1} {
analyze 1
checkAndRemove 1 .5
}
