Problem with Example 1b. 2D Elastic Portal Frame

Post by nrojas »

Hi:

I am a new user of Opensees. I have been checking the examples in the manual and I can not get the plot that appears in the case of example 1b. Is this graph correct? I have plotted the displacement vs the global force in the X direction for the column element and I get values that are different of those that appear in this plot. If somebody can help me, I really appreciate it.

Thanks.
