Example from wikipage not working

[aboufira]

I would like to use OpenSees for validation of an FE model I am currently working on regarding seismic liquefaction. I am trying to implement the example developed in the following link:

http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... -Example_8

However, I ran into a problem. The element recorder

recorder Element -ele 1 -time -file stress1.out -dT 0.01 material 1 stress

outputs a .out file with only 4 columns. However the plotter.m file loads this as variable s1 and calls index 5 in line 18

qo(i)=(s1(i,2)-s1(i,3))^2 + (s1(i,3)-s1(i,4))^2 +(s1(i,2)-s1(i,4))^2 + 6.0* s1(i,5)^2;

Unfortunately this causes the script to fail and throws an error that the index does not exist.

Please let me know what can be done to fix this error and have the correct output? Why is the quad element only outputting 3 stress values when the matlab file requires 4? Thanks

Could you contact the developer of the example with the email address provided in the first line about this issue.

I already did that but have not received a response. That's why I'm asking here.
