Hi all

would you please tell me how we can determine the plastic rotation of elements?

Thanks

look at this post:

http://opensees.berkeley.edu./community ... php?t=1476

Here are the output columns:

1 - time
2 - plastic axial deformation
3 - plastic rotation about local z-axis at end I
4 - same as 3, but at end J
5 - plastic rotation about local y-axis at end I
6 - same as 5, but at end J
7 - plastic torsional deformation
