By the way, it's a circular column.

Thanks,

Hi, I'm running a 3D model and using the following commands to record the responses for a bridge column recorder Element -file def.txt -time -ele 100 section 10 deformation; recorder Element -file force.txt -time -ele 100 section 10 force; The results have 7 columns with the first one as the time. I...

Did you mean in this case I should use the command "element forceBeamElement" instead of "element beamWithHinges"? For the -iter option, the default maximum number of iteration is 1 and the default tolerance is 1e-16, should I change to other values. Many thanks, Xiao. fmk wrote: > no .. it was chan...

Thank you. Yes, the beamWithHinges is used. The problem was solved by changing constraints from Transformation to Penalty. Did you mean change to other hinge integration methods? fmk wrote: > Ben, > > are you using the force beam column, i.e. element type > "nonlinearBeamColumn", "forceBEamColumn" ,...

BTW, I'm using the latest version 2.4.4.

Hi, I'm running time history analysis for a large model. It's getting stuck at one step without showing any error or convergence message and it lasts forever. It seems that it's running the command "set ok [analyze 1 $dt]" forever. This problem also happened to my other relatively simpler models bef...

Hi,

I was wondering what the difference is for AlphaOS with and without -updateDomain.

Thanks,
Xiao.

Anyone knows it?

Hi,

Could penalty constraints work with AlphaOS?
When I tired, it always showed "WARNING PenaltySP_FE::getC_Force() - not yet implemented".

Thanks,
Xiao.

D.Lignos has been making a few changes to it. Yes, it could work now with version 2.4.0.10. Th...

BTW, is Bilin Material included in version 2.4.0?

Thanks,

Hi,

My dynamic analysis could not be converged in newest version 2.4.0.8 but it was converged in the previous version 2.4.0.
Could I just stick to the older version?

Thanks,
Xiao.

Anyone has any idea about it?

Best,
Xiao.

Hi, When I was doing dynamic analysis to a bridge, there were a lot of same warnings when I used the Broyden and BFGS, the warning is as below: WARNING: CTestEnergyIncr::test() - failed to converge after: 10 iterations I'm not sure what the above stands for. The maximum number of iterations is 100. ...
