I would like to report a segmentation fault. It occurs when not putting enough arguments when defining mass inline with the node

For example, this causes the fault:
model basic -ndm 2 -ndf 3
node 1 0.0 0.0 -mass 1.0 1.0

This does not:
model basic -ndm 2 -ndf 3
node 1 0.0 0.0 -mass 1.0 1.0 1.0

I notice that Matrix::Solve is not implemented for windows dlls.

Are there any other options for inverting a matrix for an element formulation that is in module on windows?

Thanks,
Mark

The current implementation of the "exit" command in OpenSees depreciates the standard Tcl "exit" command (http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TclCmd/exit.htm) in that it does not allow the option for a return code. The following code in OpenSeesExit within command.cpp should do the trick: At the beginning: in...

I would like the OpenSees exit command to have the option for a return code the same as the Tcl exit command (http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl/TclCmd/exit.htm) The following code in OpenSeesExit within command.cpp should do the trick: At the beginning: int returnCode = 0; if (argc > 1) { if (Tcl_GetInt(int...

I found a workable solution by deleting " $(FE)/system_of_eqn/linearSOE/sparseGEN/SparseGenColLinSolver.o \ " (Line 349) from PARALLEL_LIB in Makefile.def

I am trying to compile OpenSees on NCSA ABE and running into trouble. I copied over Makefile.def.ABE from the Makes directory and made the following changes: 1. PROGRAMMING_MODE = SEQUENTIAL 2. Home Directory 3. HAVEMUMPS = NO It works fine until linking where I get error "multiple definition of" er...

Frank, I am running into some unexpected behavior when parsing the input for a uniaxialMaterial that I am developing. If I try to get more arguments than there are, for example by calling OPS_GetString(…) to check if there is any optional input, it results in a segmentation fault. In "elementAPI.c...

I received the email. Thank you.

I created an account for the OpenSeesWiki a couple days ago with the username: Denavit I was expecting an confirmation email so that I could make edits on the wiki but never received one. Perhaps I typed my email address wrong or it got caught in a spam filter. Could you resend the email for confirm...

Could you comment on the permissible locations for element and material dynamic libraries in Linux. In the source code, it appears that two functions search for the .so file. The first, stat, appears to only look in the current directory. The second, dlopen, appears to look in LD_LIBRARY_PATH then a...

Thanks

I think I might have been unclear (I apologize if I wasn't and am asking again).

I meant the elementAPI located "OpenSees/SRC/api/elementAPI". I was asking for functions similar to "OPS_GetSectionForceDeformation" to be used in the function which defines the tcl commands in a element in a dll.

Could you add OPS_GetCrdTransf3d and OPS_GetCrdTransf2d functions to elementAPI?

Thanks,

Why does the multiple point penalty not return a redisual like the single point penalty does? It seems to cause problems when I use the NormUnbalance test, like in the script below. wipe model BasicBuilder -ndm 1 -ndf 1 node 1 0.0 node 2 1.0 node 3 2.0 fix 1 1 uniaxialMaterial Elastic 1 1000 element...
