problem with panelzone modeling

Post by MohammadR »

:!: Hi every one
I've modeled an steel frame 1bay 1story with out panel zone and it was ok.but, when i used panel zone it gets some errors while running and i do not know why!!!!
meanwhile i used joint 2d element with this format
element Joint2D $eleTag $Nd1 $Nd2 $Nd3 $Nd4 $NdC <$Mat1 $Mat2 $Mat3 $Mat4> $MatC $LrgDspTag
for <$Mat1 $Mat2 $Mat3 $Mat4> if i assign 0 for each mat, it runs for some iterations.but when i assign some defined material to them the algorithm failed at first iteration.plz help me.
here is the code:

wipe; # clear memory of all past model definitions
model BasicBuilder -ndm 2 -ndf 3; # Define the model builder, ndm=#dimension, ndf=#dofs
file mkdir DataBalendra; # create data directory
