Recorders: Deformation

Hello, I want to record the rotation of a beam at it's ends. I'm confused which recorder is right to use? and I would appreciate if anyone give some additional explanation about these recorders. When I use a recorde like this: recorder Element -file Beam-rotation68.out -time -ele 68 -section 1 plast...

Re: concentrated plastic hinges-P-M interaction?

Hi, I have asked this question before, and it may be useful for you too. here is the link to the post: http://opensees.berkeley.edu/community/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=60763 But I have a question from you! why do you want to model concentrated hinge?? one of the main advantages of OpenSees is modeling dis...

extra information about Corotational transformation

Hello, can anyone explain a bit more about Corotational transformation? my main problem is about this sentence written in command manual: "Currently the transformation does not deal with element loads and will ignore any that are applied to the element". what exactly will happen according to this no...

Re: Inclusion of Self Weight for analysis

Dear fmk,
Could we use uniform beam loads to impose weight for vertical elements, like columns? or brace elements?
Thanks.

Re: Modified Ibarra-Medina-Krawinkler Deterioration Model

Hi, Here is Dr. Mckenna's suggestion in analysis failure! : fmk: start by changing the elements to be elastic beam columns. if that fails your nodes, elements or boundary conditions are messed up. if it works change the section to be elastic for the nonlinear beam columns. if that fails check your b...

rigid diaphragm-nonlinear element-progressive collapse

Hello I am modeling a dual system steel structure (moment frame with concentric bracing) for progressive collapse analyses. I developed my model with these specifications: - It is a 2D model - 10 story - 3 bays - material : Uniaxial material steel01 + MinMax material - fiber sections - Beam With Hin...

Re: Plastic hinge which considers P-M interaction

Thank you very much dear Prof. Scott for the new beamWithHinges is it right to use steel01 in fiber sections of both hinges and interior section of element? is steel 01 has cyclic degradation? I'm not sure using steel01 is the right material for progressive collapse, because I think I need to model ...

Re: Plastic hinge which considers P-M interaction

The reason I've decided to use elasticBeamColumn with zerloength elemnts as hinges was that I can record the rotation of zerolength element and compare it with allowable values in GSA. How can I get the rotation of plastic hinges formed in a beamWithHinges? And I'm still have those questions about u...

Re: Plastic hinge which considers P-M interaction

Thank you Dear Prof. Scott
As you mentioned here and in my previous post, the yieldSurface sections are not documented. I took a look at source code but I couldn't use it.
Can you please explain me how can I use fiber o yieldsurface sections?
I appreciate your quick and informative replies.
