Truss in OPENSEESPY

Post by GLHUOFEI »

Hey, I'm trying to model a 3D Truss Brdige , and add a white noise excitation with a peak value of 0.01g to obtain the acceleration of each node.
When I use truss, the result is weird. But when truss element is changed to elastic beam, there is no such probelem. How can I get the correct output on the truss element. Thank you in advance.

Code: Select all

import vfo.vfo as vfo
from openseespy.opensees import *
import numpy as np
from math import asin, sqrt

# units
N = 1;sec = 1;m = 1;m2 = m*m;m3 = m**3
kg = 1;pa = N /m2;Gpa = 1e9*pa

#properties
L = 0.4
H = 0.4
W = 0.4

#material
Density = 2700*kg/m3
E=69.5*Gpa

#
wipe()
model('Basic','-ndm',3,'-ndf',3)

for i in range(9):
    node(i+1,float(i*L),0,W)
    node(i+10,float(i*L),0,0)
for i in range(7):
    node(i+19,float((i+1)*L),H,W)
    node(i+26,float((i+1)*L),H,0)

Check you element connectivity. There appears to be an errant element connected diagonally across the truss model.
What are the eigenvalues?
Does the model resist static loading?
