ZeroLengthND in opensees 2.1.0

Post by aminrahmani »

Hi everybody,

Is the zeroLengthND element available in the new version of OpenSees(2.1.0)?
I used this element in my model in which material type is Drucker-Prager, but I got a warning as follows:
“ZerolengthND:: --NDMaterial not of order 2 or 3”
Would you please help me?

Thanks again
Amin Rahmani

Hi,

My question is that which materials are of order 2 and 3? I think Drucker-Prager model is of order 3, Isn’t it? I used the following command for zeroLengthND element, but I got the same message.

Element zeroLengthND $eleTag $iNode $jNode $matTag

What is the problem? Which type of material should I use?

Many Thanks!
