I tried the following command line to record the stiffness in the zerolength element. But it does not record anything. Could you tell me how I can record the stiffness of the zerolength element?

recorder Element -file Stiff_3000.out –time -ele 3000 stiff

Hi,

I have a model for masonry infilled RC frame (lumped plasticity-based elements for frame and strut elements for the infill). I wonder if I can add the struts to the model after I perform the gravity analysis. In the other word, I would like to apply the gravity loads on the bare frame and then add the struts to the model (or tell my model to consider the struts from now) and then perform pushover or dynamic analysis.

Thanks,
Siamak Sattar

Hi Frank,
I have two questions and I appreciate your answer.
1) I am trying to compile openSees source code in Visual studio 2010. When I build the solution file (Solution 'OpenSees2005'), it fails for one file and gives the following error messages.

2) To build the executable file, I Rcl on the oepnSees in Solution Explorer window and select build or rebuild and it works. But If I press F5 it gives me the following error message. I appreciate it if you tell me what I need to do in this regard.

"unable to start program 'C:/ ......../lib/release/actor.lib' the specified file is an unrecognized or unsupported binary format. "

I solved my problem.

Hi Frank,
I want to modify the equation of the shear limit curve in the limit state material source code. To do so, I need to introduce some new arguments to the “limitCurve shear” command. I went through the following steps. But when I run my input file in the generated executable file, it gives me this error message: WARNING insufficient arguments Want: limitCurve Shear tag? Eletag? Rho? Fc? B? h? d? Fsw? Kdeg? Fres? defType? forType? <ndI? ndJ? Dof? perpDirn? Delta?>
It seems that the executable file doesn’t recognize my new input arguments. Could you please direct me what I should do?

Steps:
1)In shearcurve.h file: Define the type of the new arguments and add them to the shearcurve (….) arguments.
2)In shearcurve cpp file: Add the new arguments in the shearcurve function as follow:
ShearCurve::ShearCurve(int tag, int eTag, Domain *theDom,
double r, double f, double B, double H, double D, double Fsw, double Kd, double Fr, int dType, int fType, int ni, int nj, int df, int dirn, double dd, double E_in, double Lin_in, double Hin_in, double Em_in, double tin_in, double s_in, double Fyw_in, double ftp_in):/

3) Do the same thing for limitcurve function:
LimitCurve(tag, TAG_ShearCurve), eleTag(eTag), theDomain(theDom), theElement(0),
Kdeg(Kd), Fres(Fr), defType(dType), forType(fType), rho(r), fc(f), b(B), h(H), d(D), Fsw(Fsw), ndI(ni), ndJ(nj), dof(df), perpDirn(dirn), delta(dd),E(E_in), Lin(Lin_in), Hin(Hin_in), Em(Em_in), tin(tin_in), s(s_in), Fyw(Fyw_in), ftp(ftp_in)

5) Modify the equation in the findLimit function. (ShearCurve::findLimit(double DR)
)

6) Rcl on the material in solution explorer in VS2010-> build
7) Build the opensees
8) get the exe file from bin folder

I also tried it in both versions 2.2.2 and 2.2.1.

Thanks,

Thanks Frank. OpenSees2005.sln works.

I am trying to compile OpenSees 2.2.1 with Microsoft Visual C++ 2010. I received the following errors when I build OpenSees. Can you direct me what I should do?
Is the error related to accelerator? If so, where can I download it from?

Hi,
I have an RC frame model which works properly in opensees 1.6.2.e. When I run my model in opensees 2.2, 2.1,1.7.3, it gives me the following error message "Domain::addMP_Constraint - cannot add as constraint with tag10already exists in modelJoint2D::addMP_Joint - WARNING could not add equalDOF MP_Constraint to domain WARNING Joint2D::Joint2D(): can not generate ForJoint MP at node 1 ".
Do I need to change anything in my model regarding joint 2D element?
