Introduction

The following Analysis commands are added to the interpreter to create the Analysis and perform the analysis:

General commands

reliability Command

This command creates the reliability domain in which the sensitivity, reliability and optimization components are kept. This ::: reliability domain is parallel to the finite element (FE) domain in OpenSees. Currently, the commands for stand-alone sensitivity analysis (e.g., sensitivityIntegrator, sensitivityAlgorithm) are set in the reliability domain only and, thus, the ‘reliability’ command must be used before any stand-alone sensitivity analysis.

parameter Command

In DDM-based FE response sensitivity analysis, the sensitivity parameters can be material, geometry or discrete loading parameters.

Material Commands

UniaxialMaterial Commands

Several uniaxial materials are available for DDM-based FE response sensitivity computation.

SteelMP Command

This command is used to construct a uniaxial Menegotto-Pinto steel material object.

SmootPSConcrete Command

This command is used to construct a uniaxial smoothed Popovics-Saenz concrete material object.
