get strain and strainrate
Hello Frank and other Developers,
I'd like to know how OpenSees get the Strain or StrainRate from a element and pass it to a material ?
My goal is to write a code in order to get the acceleration and pass it to a material but before that I need to know how OpenSees works for passing the Strain or StrainRate ?
Is there any documentation for that ?

Re: get strain and strainrate
The best way is to follow the code. Did you download all the OpenSees source files in your computer?

Thanks for reply selimgunay
I did download all the source files but I don't where it is explained about set/get TriaStrain and strainreate !!
Can you help me by that ?

OpenSees does not get from element and provide to materials .. it is the elemenets that compute it and send it to their copies of the materials .. look at source code for any element that takes a material=, e.g. Truss.
