Dear Developers and Frank,

I'm currently writing a new ND material for soil and rock and for that I need new matrix and vector operators and functions. some of them are available at Matrix and some at BJMatrix class and some does not exist. I just want to know, is there anyway to unify these classes to be able to have benefits of both classes at the same time?

thank you.

I'm trying to use "ElementIter" class to loop over all specified elements. my question is, what is the best method to distinguish solid (quads), beam as well as zerolength elements.

Thank

thank you frank I could fix that ...

Hi;

I just did implement a new nDMaterial and trying to debug the created code just simply by adding couple of breakpoints. but unfortunately it seems debugger keep jumping over all breakpoints and going to the end of tcl script and the thing is I'm not getting any error at all. would you please let me know what probably is wrong here?

Hi,

how can I store the accumulative stress of elements while creating a new material? I just realized that I can store them by simply using commitstate() but my another question is, how can I restore the saved value after each step or iteration?

thank you in advance;

thanks Frank, but still I get the following message:

"You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reason:

The action you have requested is limited to users in the group: emailconfirmed."

why can't I edit wiki page that I created myself?

what is the procedure for submitting code into opensees?

I think it time for Opensees developer to think about creating a geometry class as a pre-processors instead of using matlab navigator. if you put the "geometry" class in the opensses project I'm sure people like me are willing to participate.

it seems you are missing more than one external library. you just simply can search for current missing function throughout the opensees file and disable this specific function but the think is you may can not use this element for your model so I prefer you wait until these errors get fixed by Frank.

Hi Aizen;

I temporarily fixed that problem by simply disabling the lines that calling "TclModelBuilder_addSingleFPBearing" function from outside. you can go to "TclElementCommands.cpp" file and disable these lines as follow:


/*
else if (strcmp(argv[1],"singleFPBearing") == 0) {
int eleArgStart = 1;
int result = TclModelBuilder_addSingleFPBearing(clientData, interp, argc, argv,
theTclDomain, theTclBuilder, eleArgStart);
return result;
}
*/

Again same error message:

element.lib(TclElementCommands.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "int __cdecl TclModelBuilder_addSingleFPBearing(void *,struct Tcl_Interp *,int,char const * *,class Domain *,class TclModelBuilder *,int)" (?TclModelBuilder_addSingleFPBearing@@YAHPAXPAUTcl_Interp@@HPAPBDPAVDomain@@PAVTclModelBuilder@@H@Z) referenced in function "int __cdecl TclModelBuilderElementCommand(void *,struct Tcl_Interp *,int,char const * *,class Domain *,class TclModelBuilder *)" (?TclModelBuilderElementCommand@@YAHPAXPAUTcl_Interp@@HPAPBDPAVDomain@@PAVTclModelBuilder@@@Z)

[quote="burnningcat"]My friend, I have no problem in debugging. So maybe you should try to use the Visual studio 2008 team suit and the lastest sorce code of OpenSees.[/quote]

thank you for your response. I am using VS2008 express and do not have any problem in debugging. I can debug the main project like "opensees" but problem is, it is not stepping into the classes. perhaps there has to be some way for debugging the classes but do not know how.

Frank;

I'm trying to debug the code. so I put the break point on the line that I want to debug to and started debugging but debugging procedure skips all the breakpoints. I did find out the only files that can be debugged are those located in the opesees (main project) project. would you please show me how to debug the files other than main project ones? thank you.

thank you frank. I'll try that.
