Dear all,
I want to perform IDA on a bridges (3D analysis). Deck is elastic while piers are modelled through beamWithHinges element. Their inelastic behaviour comes a linearization of the moment-curvature diagram, using hysteretic material. Such material is then coupled with a MinMax material when curvature reaches the ultimate value. The problem is that when moment goes to zero the shear still has values different from zero and therefore I cannot reach the collapse of the structure. Do you have any suggestion?
Below there is the part of the script which defines the nonlinear behaviour of the piers.
Thanks.
Andrea

Hello
Is there anyone who has an OpenSees example for 3D IDA analysis? Thank you if you share it.
