opensees has stopped working

Post by ali2012 »

hello to all
i wrote a code. in this code i wanted get the maximum displacement of a beam on the two simple supported in the explosion load. also the natural frequencies of the beam. i devided the beam into the 4 elements by elasticbeamcolumn element.analysis is elastic performed. but when i run the program i face to this error:
openSees has stopped working. the length of the beam is four meter. what is the problem. please help me!!!!

code:

# vahedha=meter, kg, sec, N
wipe
model basic -ndm 2 -ndf 3

file mkdir data;
set A 0.05
set IZ 0.0004
set E 2e11

#dead load= N/m
set deadload [expr $A*7800*9.81]

geomTransf Linear 1

#define bare enfejar
set enfejar "Series -dt 0.001 -filePath load.txt -factor 1"

You are not doing your analysis correctly.

First you have to do the static analysis with a gravity load and then you can do the transient analysis.

hi
please help me about modeling explosive load in opensees!

could i have your email?
