Help me out here; not sure what you mean by extension files. Is it a file I can find in
1.7.3
OpenSees/SRC ?

or is it something new you are creating?

Hi alisa

indeed, I need to compile some new ubc extension files from M. Scott for performing reliability analysis.

Umm, it looks like, in OpenSees/Makefile.def, it needs to say
RELIABILITY = YES_RELIABILITY

This will cause all the reliability files to compile, but I'm not seeing where they get added to OpenSees.lib

I think what needs to happen is more stuff needs to be added to

OpenSees/SRC/Makefile

You see how there's lists in there like

FMK_LIBS = $(FE)/database/FE_Datastore.o \
$(FE)/package/packages.o

I think you will need something like that for RELIABILITY_LIBS, e.g.

RELIABILITY_LIBS = $(FE)/reliability/analysis/curvature/CurvaturesBySearchAlgorithm.o \
$(FE)/reliability/analysis/curvature/FindCurvatures.o \ ...

and then also in the upper part of the Makefile, where you see the others like this,
@$(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $(FE_LIBRARY) $(RELIABILITY_LIBS)

to add the reliability stuff to OpenSees.lib

hope this helps,

(you can see where all the others are)

So, it looks like you only need to set RELIABILITY = YES_RELIABILITY
I lookede at the Makefile in
OpenSees/SRC/reliability and all the stuff about building reliability.lib is in there.

sorry, my bad,

hello alisa

i compiled the extention files
but when i want to use these extended abilities the OpenSees said "can not create that commands"
i want to ask:
1- could'nt we compile the extention file in a right manner?? ( we follow the developers page step by step)
2- is there extra steps that we dont do that,if it is please say that
3-is it possible please send me a compiled version that include these extensions(its so important for me to complete my researches)
4-if you cant send ,please tell me a step by step way for me that i follow

thank youu for your helps
