eigen value error

Post by gourik »

Dear sir,
I am trying to execute the existing problem given in examples on OpenSees site. Ex5.
I am getting the following error. Please help me regarding this. Is there any issue with the installation of OpenSees.
OpenSees 2.2.1 version is installed on linux platform. Some basic examples I am able to solve w/o any issues.

BandArpackSolver::Error with _saupd info = -1
N must be positive.
Warning FrequencyAlgo::solveCurrentStep() - the EigenSOE failed in solve().
EigenAnalysis::analyze() - algorithm failed
missing function argument at _@_
in expression "pow(_@_,0.5)"
(parsing expression "pow(,0.5)")
invoked from within
"expr pow($lambdaI,0.5)"
invoked from within
"set omegaI [expr pow($lambdaI,0.5)]"
(file "Ex5.Frame2D.analyze.Dynamic.EQ.Uniform.tcl" line 35)
Thanks And Regards,

Gouri

Can you tell me exactly what files are you trying to run from Example 5? I will try to do the same in order to see what is going on.

When I ran this example I did not see the same error. The error I saw was related to inability of opensees to open ground motion file.

Try making the following changes and it should work for you as well:

1. Create the folder with a name GMfiles which is to be in the same folder with all the other files from this example. Unzip the ground motion file and copy H-E12140.AT2 to the GMfiles folder.

2. Inside of your element file replace the line:
set GMdir "../GMfiles/";
with
set GMdir "GMfiles/";

This is working for me so it should work for you as well.
