Hyster_1

Post by ncatella »

When I try to create the bilinear hysteretic material, Hyster_1, OpenSees returns
WARNING could not create uniaxialMaterial Hyster_1
As far as I can tell, my syntax is correct. So what is going wrong?

This is the syntax that I have been using in the input file:

uniaxialMaterial Hyster_1 1 52.5 .0018103 60 .05 -52.5 -.0018103 -60.
-.05 0 0 0 0

the only thing that the error message reads is:
WARNING could not create uniaxialMaterial Hyster_1

thanks

mine is not able to create Hyster_1 either, i'll look into whether this one exists.


you should refer to the manual, but here is the proper command, not Hyster_1:

uniaxialMaterial Hysteretic $matTag $s1p $e1p $s2p $e2p <$s3p $e3p> $s1n $e1n $s2n $e2n <$s3n $e3n> $pinchX $pinchY $damage1 $damage2 <$beta>

this one exists and OpenSees is able to build it!

What then is the uniaxial material in the Command Manual that is called Hyster_1 ? Has that not been added to OpenSees yet?

I believe it has just been taken over by the other hysteretic material command.

before you can use any OpenSees Commands, you need to define the system using the model command, did you do this?
