Stiffness matrix

Post by pavlos »

Hello, Does anybody know whether it is possible in OpenSees to extract the stiffness matrix of the structure after every timestep in the time history analysis?
Thank you

Yes, it is
You must use system FullGeneral and after your analysis, you must add the following:

set controlTime [getTime];
set ok [analyze 1 $dtcal]; <----------Your analysis
set Kfile [join [concat "K" "$controlTime" ".out"] "" ]
printA -file $Kfile;
