Question about how to divide an area element into a mesh
In SAP or ETABS, area elements can be divided into meshes by considering internal points or beams. Does openseespy have this feature?

Not sure what you're asking, but meshing functions are available in OpenSees

Re: Question about how to divide an area element into a mesh
Thanks for your answer.
I also checked and tried the function, but there is a problem when dividing the slabs into meshes. When segmenting an area into a mesh, various commercial FEM programs consider line elements (beams), columns, etc. to form an area mesh. Otherwise, the location of beams or columns may not be considered in the slab analysis. When dividing region elements into meshes, ask if there is a function that can be divided into meshes by considering specific nodes or lines.
