Shallow Foundation Gen

Post by Mohammadf » Sun Sep 23, 2018 1:06 am

Hi Dear All
I want to use ShallowFoundationGen for modeling foundation in my frame. I think this command make nodes symmetric to the origin coordinates but not related to the coordination of main foot node. if we have more than one column for making foundation, all of the foundation nodes are around origin coordinates. Also in the documentation pdf file in opensees wiki for the second foot of the second example node coordinates that are generated in the Foundation_2.tcl have negative X values that put them symmetric to the X=0 !! is that correct? what is the problem?
Best
