Large Model

Hi Everyone, I have a relatively large model that is taking approximately 12 days to run on a cluster. Unfortunately I'm not actually utlising the full capabilities of the cluster because I don't know how to run this large model using multiple processors. Basically I successfully use OpenSeesMP for ...

Re: OpenSeesMP with Mumps

Thanks for that, your work is much appreciated.

Do you have any advice on temporary solutions? Time is of the essence and this is a really big obstacle for me.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Regards,

Any suggestions on solving this problem? It seems to be a weird and I can't find the source of the problem

OpenSeesMP with Mumps

Hi, I am running an analysis using OpenSeesMP on a cluster and using the Mumps solver. I am getting the following error: WARNING MumpsParallelSolver::solve(void)- Error -9 returned in substitution dmumps() Work array too small; use -ICNTL14 option, the default is -ICNTL 20 make 20 larger The interes...

Re: BeamContact2D

Also is it possible to fix the element so it does work in a transient analysis? If so, any guidance with that would be much appreciated.

Re: BeamContact2D

Thank for the prompt reply professor. Do you have any recommendations for the kind of interface elements I could use in my model of a wharf. I am developing a 2D model including the soil domain (SSPQuad) and the wharf (dispBeamColumn). How can I capture the response at the interace?

BeamContact2D

Does anyone have any experience with using the BeamContact2D element in a transient analysis? I have been having significant issues trying to get it to work at the interface between piles and surrounding soil. I have been having convergence issues even though I have tried a wide variety of changes t...

Re: Triangular Shell Elements

I only have the problem with a 778 triangular elements out of 9443 total elements. I thought it might be possible to create the triangular nodes and elements in a ndm 2 ndf 2 system and then constraint them using equalDOF in the 1 and 2 direction to duplicate nodes in the ndm 3 ndf 6 system which wi...

Triangular Shell Elements

Hi, I have a gate that has already been meshed using another structural analysis software and contains quadrilateral and triangular plate elements. In converting the input files from this software to OpenSees I have found that there appears to be no triangular shell elements. Are there any elements ...

Recorder Error?

Hi,

Just checking what the purpose of this output in NodeRecorder.cpp on line 804

opserr << "NodeRecorder::initialize - numNodes: " << numNodes << endln;

It's coming up in one of my analyses and not sure if it is an 'error' or not

New Error

I am not sure if this is an error or not, but I am getting this message when I run a large model on OpenSeesSP on a cluster using several processors:

You just increased the maxndoms: 5 4


Does this have any meaning? It comes when I run 8 processes for example but not when I run 10.

Choice of test command

I am facing convergence problems and I developed some code to try out different soultion algorithms and in most cases that works fine. However for a small number of simulations I am still not converging even after decreasing the timestep. In some cases changing the convergence test resulted in conve...

Re: race conditions

I only get memory corruption problems when I use mumps. I changed to umfpack and no longer memory problems. Any thoughts on why could that be? I tried using the -intcl14 option but no luck.

race conditions

I am running a medium size model through approximately 100 eq motions and using OpenSeesMP to run multiple processes. I used code similar to the example provided with the source code. After many days of having random errors related to memory (glibc errors) it appears I have a race condition. I read ...
