Hi!
I'd be grateful if anybody knows how the brick8N can be read by the opensees.
When I write the following script:
wipe;
model BasicBuilder -ndm 3 -ndf 3;
# nodal coordinates:
node 1 1 1 4
node 2 -1 1 4
node 3 -1 -1 4
node 4 1 -1 4
node 5 1 1 2
node 6 -1 1 2
node 7 -1 -1 2
node 8 1 -1 2
node 9 1 1 0
node 10 -1 1 0
node 11 -1 -1 0
node 12 1 -1 0
puts "Nodes Defined"
fix 9 1 1 1
fix 10 1 1 1
fix 11 1 1 1
fix 12 1 1 1
puts "Fixities Defined"
nDMaterial ElasticIsotropic3D 1 1800000 0.25 2.243
puts "Material Defined"
element Brick8N 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 1 0 0 0 0
element Brick8N 2 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 1 0 0 0 0
puts "Elements Defined"
I don't receive the final message "Elements Defined". But when I change the type of the brick element to SSPbrick everything is fine. Why is this happening?
Thanks!

Re: Problem in recognizing the brick8N
brick8N is removed from OpenSees and that is why it is not working.
