MVLEM element

Post by kostast88 »

I've read in a couple of articles about the Multiple Vertical line Element Method as an approach for modelling concrete shear walls. These refer to an element implemented in opensees called mvlem and mvlem3d for 3d analysis. However I can't find it anywhere in the SVN, current or older revisions, nor documentation.

Has this element ever been implemented in the program?

Thank you

It may have been implemented by the authors of the articles, but never checked in to SVN. This, for better or worse, is often the case.
