OpenSeesSP error

Post by amia » Wed Jul 05, 2017 2:57 am

Hi

I'm trying to run a 3D building model on OpenSeesSP, but it does not work when I use more than 1 processor. I run the model by sourcing multiple files. The error message occurs as soon as the Gravity Analysis .tcl is sourced.
Below is the error message:

"Zerolength:: sendSelf -- failed to send Materialid Slave Process Running 1
FEM_ObjectBrokerAllClasses::getNewUniaxialMaterial - 3
- no UniaxialMaterial type exists for class tag 18"

Judging from the error message, I thought a potential problem could be that the .tcl files are not created in a sequential order (also the model works if I use a single processor). So I allowed a pause between files (using the "after" command), and in each file at the end I put a "puts" command to see if the files were created (example of my run file is below) which they were in a sequential order.
Could you please let me know what may be causing the problem? (the system is set to Mumps).

Thank you
Anita
