I am new to OpenSees and using the software as part my MSc dissertation and would love to have your input with this problem. My project involves modelling the hysteretic behaviour of a spring and I have started off by experimenting with the Steel01 and Steel02 functions with cyclic loading. However, I am unable to print my results using the Node recorder function. I hope someone can help.
The script does generate the .out files, but there is literally nothing in those files.
I have tried the exact same code with using the time timeSeries Linear function and the .out file work great, but they don't work for the timeSeries Trig function.
Would someone be able to run these script and see if the scripts generate results, as my computer may not be running the program correctly. -- Thank-you so much!
