Thank you Frank

Hi Silvia and Frank,

Can you provide some additional information about how the test objects function? For example on the NormDispIncr test, is the delta U from the last committed to the current trial state or from a previous trial to a new trial?

Thanks

Hi Frank,

Looking at the code for this element, I noticed that in the setresponse function that the if statement for the "pq" response is missing although the getresponse function has been coded for it. If the flag is pq, then the response should be equal to 7.

The same goes for the 20 Node Brick upU also.

Thanks,
Robbie

If I remember correctly, Frank said he wanted everyone to email him with segmentation faults (from OpenSees days 2007).

Frank or Silvia,

I think it would be helpful to have posts like the one Frank just put up as stickies on the message board. Maybe not make this specific thread a sticky but have maybe a few different sticky threads about recorders, elements, materials, etc. which you can add tips and tricks like this too. I think it will make your lives easier as well.

Which element are you using?

Hi,

I was just having some external link issues and realized that I forgot to follow the MS Platform SDK installation procedures completely.

Make sure you have done each of these (from the MS website):

Using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition with the Microsoft Platform SDK

By Brian Johnson,
Microsoft Corporation

You can use Visual C++ Express to build powerful .NET Framework applications immediately after installation. In order to use Visual C++ Express to build Win32 applications, you'll need to take just a few more steps. I'll list the steps necessary for building Win32 applications using Visual C++ Express.
Step 1: Install Visual C++ Express.

If you haven't done so already, install Visual C++ Express.

Step 2: Install the Microsoft Platform SDK.

Install the Platform SDK over the Web from the Download Center. Follow the instructions and install the SDK for the x86 platform.

Step 3: Update the Visual C++ directories in the Projects and Solutions section in the Options dialog box.

Add the paths to the appropriate subsection:

* Executable files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Bin
* Include files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Include
* Library files: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2\Lib

Note: Alternatively, you can update the Visual C++ Directories by modifying the VCProjectEngine.dll.express.config file located in the \vc\vcpackages subdirectory of the Visual C++ Express install location. Please make sure that you also delete the file "vccomponents.dat" located in the "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\VCExpress\8.0" if it exists before restarting Visual C++ Express Edition.

Step 4: Update the corewin_express.vsprops file.

One more step is needed to make the Win32 template work in Visual C++ Express. You need to edit the corewin_express.vsprops file (found in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\VCProjectDefaults) and

Change the string that reads:

AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib"

to

AdditionalDependencies="kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib"

Any help to fix these will be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance,

Hi Smitha,

Have a look at Alisa Neeman's page on Visual C++ problems http://www.soe.ucsc.edu/~aneeman/VCgotchas.html

You may need to delete the .dsp or .dsw file in your OpenSees/Win32/ directory and then try rebuilding the entire OpenSees project (clean and build or just rebuild).

I did your suggestion and that problem was solve but know instead of having 1 error I have over 12,000 !!, but is pretty much the same error "error LNK2001". I going to look info about it. Any other suggestion?

Thank you very much for your help

Alfredo

Hi,

Can you give some examples of the errors? That may help us to find out where the problem is coming from.

-Robbie

rjaeger

Hi,

I have found the same thing and all you need to do to fix them is double click on the file path (on the same line as the error message in output) and it will open that file. When it opens, it will say something is incorrect, do you want to reformat it for windows - choose yes and be sure to save the file. You'll have to do it for about 6-10 files.

-Robbie

rjaeger

Yes, I believe that is your problem. Maybe try reloading the solution file into Visual C++ to see if that helps any. If it doesn't, you can add the tcl project to your solution by right-clicking the solution (labeled Solution 'OpenSees' for me) in the solution explorer (on the left in VC++ 2005), select add, then choose existing project. When the dialog comes up, browse to your OpenSees source directory and you should be able to find the tcl.vcproj in Opensees/Win32/proj/tcl.

Hope that helps,
-Robbie

Hello,

tcl.lib is what is being compiled when making the opensees executable. If tcl.lib isn't available, it means that the TCL project isn't successfully compiling and your problem is probably with your tcl installation. Check for errors in the output and see if that helps.

Hello.

You could try making a uniaxial material based on the Maxwell element which you could apply to your truss element.

Hello,

When using the eight node brick element, I found that the recorders were not working properly. I have determined that the problem is in the function
Response* EightNodeBrick::setResponse(const char **argv, int argc)
which has a missing argument. It should read:
Response* EightNodeBrick::setResponse(const char **argv, int argc, OPS_Stream &output)

Making this change fixes the recorders for this element.
