Dear fmk,

Thanks for your reply. I tried as you suggested and got the following error:
===========================
LIBRARIES BUILT ... NOW LINKING OpenSees PROGRAM
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/sukumar/OpenSees/SRC/tcl'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `tcl'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sukumar/OpenSees/SRC/tcl'

make[1]: *** [tcl] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sukumar/OpenSees/SRC/modelbuilder/tcl'
make: *** [all] Error 2
=======================
It appears that it has something to do with gcc compiler. BTW I am having gcc 4.8.2 installed my system.

Please suggest the way out for present compilation in ubuntu 14.04. Further, my makefile.def is adopted from the one *.EC2 only.

Meanwhile, I want to share another information which might help in supplying OpenSees binaries: I have copied the libs and OpenSees binary from my Ubuntu 12.04 to Ubuntu 14.04 (in ~/lib and in ~/bin) and it is working without any issue. I have tested it with few of my earlier scripts related to beam and soil-wall models.

Dear all,

I tried to compile OpenSees (2.4.4, rev 5760) in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and got the following error:
====================
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sukumar/OpenSees/OTHER/Triangle'
LIBRARIES BUILT ... NOW LINKING OpenSees PROGRAM
/bin/sh: 1: ./OSverCreate.sh: Permission denied
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/sukumar/OpenSees/SRC/tcl'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `tcl'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/sukumar/OpenSees/SRC/tcl'
/bin/sh: 1: ./OSverRemove.sh: Permission denied
make: *** [all] Error 126
====================

When I invoke make in OpenSees/SRC or OpenSees/SRC/tcl no error is shown.
my makefile.def is the same as that of Ubuntu 12.04, where I had successfully compiled. Also note that I have write permission in /my_home/OpenSees and also I have the bin and lib directories. All the libraries are already built.

Kindly help

Thanks and regards.

Dear Frank and all,

Do any one has any answer to my questions? I need them urgently to start the Masters dissertation of one of my students.

Thanks

You can express the Eqke load in a prticular direction as vector sum of eqke loads in the two or three orthogonal directions.

Dear fmk and gopaladhikari,

It will be intersting to have such an element to include foundation impedances in all modes at one go. (I am sure, the frequency dependance of the same can be approximately handled in time domain). I think in such a case, the input parameters for the element may be the shear wave velocity and poisson's ratio of the associated nDMaterial from which the foundation impedances in six DOFs may be computed. In order to write such element can you please guide me how to handle the new/existing classes? I will be happy to contribute in this.

Dear Smith
Thanks for this very useful post. I think there should be a page in the Command Manual replicating your post.

Regards.

Dear Frank and all,
I have the following questions:
1. Does FEAP Material 02 is a viscoelastic material?
2. Is Feap Material02, obtained in svn trunk is operational?
3. If yes where can I get the documentation?

Thanks and Regards

Hi,
The following post may be of use. http://opensees.berkeley.edu/community/ ... =2&t=29144
Thanks.

Possibly u should reinstall Tcl and while installing specufy the path as c:\ProgramFiles\Tcl.

I believe no.Let $mat 1 be some material, $mat2 be viscous. $mat3 be the parallel of $mat1 and $mat2, and $mat4 is in series with $mat3. In such a case, the strainrate of $mat4 will not pass to $mat3 which has the viscous one ( $mat2). So finally strain rate of $mat4 will not pass to $mat2.

Hope I m correct. fmk may enlighten us in this regard.

Thanks.

Dear Frank ,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Regards.

Dear all,
I have a querry regarding viscous material. The wiki page (http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... s_Material) says, " This material \[B]cannot be combined in parallel/series with other materials. When defined in parallel with other materials it is ignored.\[B] "
On the other other hand wiki on Parallel Material (http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... l_Material) says, " This command is used to construct a parallel material object made up of an arbitrary number of previously-constructed UniaxialMaterial objects."

In a recent publication (http://www.saitama-u.ac.jp/saity/items/ ... 0final.pdf), the author has proposed using parallel material in zerolength elements in which one of the materials is viscous. I think this is a promising approach to model frequency dependent impedance functions in time domain analysis of soil-structure interactions.

So would any one clarify whether the wiki on viscous material is correct or that on Parallel Material is correct?

I need an answer to start the work of one of my phD students.

Thank. Regards.

Hi all,
This question although fits to Soil Modelling forum I am posting it here as the above forum is currently locked.
I want to find dynamic response of a backfill retained by a retaining wall. For this I want to use visco-elastic soil material. Is it possible to use visco-elastic material in quad element, which needs ndMaterial otherwise? The usual viscoelastic damper is formed as a parallel material from two uniaxial materials. I think viscoelastic planestrain material is available in ABAQUS. What should be done to extend this facility to OpenSees?

Regards and thanks

Dear Thomas.
Thanks a lot and sorry for delayed reply. I have successfully made OpenSees 2.4.3 in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS using your instruction.
I am pasting my makefile.def below hoping this may be useful for someone.

Dear All,
I still need help. I have tried to change the compiler to gcc-4.1, 4.3 and 4.4. But the same error persists.
Hope some one will help me out.

Thanks.
