How to evaluate damage indices

Post by rmandok »

Hi
I want to monitor damage index response of a steel frame during an earthquake duration and i am wondering how to introduce these damage indices in OpenSees. The desired damage indices are Modified Park & Ang, Bozorgnia and Bertero. The most challenging part is how to obtain dissipated energy during hysteresis manner of an element.
Please help me through this.
Thanks
