Hi to everyone,
I got a problem with the parallel material when trying to use the command "-factors".
The parallel material works fine when unitary factors are implicitly assumed (i.e., the command is uniaxialMaterial Parallel $coreID($xi) 701 56), but when trying to combine materials with different factors, Opensees 2.5.0 crashes also if adopting unitary values. Following, the example I use:
uniaxialMaterial ElasticPPGap 56 [expr 10*4030.5] 4.78 0.0084
uniaxialMaterial Concrete04 701 [expr -5.7+500/1000] -0.0034022 -0.0084 4030.5 [expr (5.7-500/1000)*0.14] 0.1 0.1
uniaxialMaterial Concrete04 702 [expr -5.7+500/1000] -0.0034022 -0.0084 4030.5 [expr (5.7-500/1000)*0.14] 0.1 0.1
uniaxialMaterial Parallel $coreID($xi) 701 56 -factors 1.0 1.0
uniaxialMaterial Parallel $coverID($xi) 702 56 -factors 1.0 1.0
any idea on how to solve this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Marco.
Parallel material <-factors $factor> doesn't work

Re: Parallel material <-factors $factor> doesn't work
it was a bug .. i have made the fix to the source code .. will update the .exe on the website on Monday . thanks for pointing it out.
