Q1: I want define axial force of truss as performance function, as follows

performanceFunction 1 "671000+{rec_element_1_localForce_1}"

limit-state function number: 1
child killed: segmentation violation

Q2:I'm in trouble with following problem, please help me, thanks.
I loaded an example3b.tcl from http://www.inrisk.ubc.ca/software1.htm.
but when I run example3b.tcl in opensees version1.7.4 and 1.7.5 ,the following message occur:

WARNING could not create uniaxialMaterial SmoothSteel01
while executing
"uniaxialMaterial SmoothSteel01 1 $sigmaY $E $b $smoothgama $smootheta"

please contact the authors of that example.

[civilmanjun]

ok, thanks, silvia
I'll contact author of that example.

but for Q1, I think it's a bug.

If I remember correctly, Frank said he wanted everyone to email him with segmentation faults (from OpenSees days 2007).

[civilmanjun]

rjaeger, thanks for your advice, but I don't know how to contact with Frank, Do you have his/her email? thank you very much.
