Hi,
I add Timoshenko element but I have problems with materials in OpenSees. I have modeled a 2D steel column with my element and I use
J2 Plasticity Material and BeamFiberMaterial2d to set strain vector and get stress vector and tangent matrix. My problem is that it works always linear, but when I model the column with DispBeamclmn and uniaxial material after certain displacement it behaves nonlinearly.
I attach the pushover of both models.
