question about possibility of existing a command in OpenSees

Post by redwood »

Is it possible to know the element number which causes convergence problem during analysis?
For example with "nodeDisp $ctrlNode $ctrlDof" we have access to nodal displacements during analysis and we can use it in OpenSees code to have more control on the analysis. For some convergence problems, a message appears saying a specific element couldn't converge e.g. for nonlinear beam column elements. Is it possible to have access to this element number during analysis in OpenSees code?

Thank you
