The OpenSees Community

Dear Community members,
I'm tryin to compile Opensees 2.4.6 and I have the following error in linker:
libifcoremt.lib(for_diags_intel.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _vsprintf referenced in function _for__get_msg
1>libirc.lib(irc_msg_support.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _vsprintf
1>libm.lib(libm_error.obj) : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol __snprintf referenced in function _write_message
1>libirc.lib(tbk_display.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __snprintf
I have the official source code for that version.
Any suggestion?

Also, I have the version 2.5.0 downloaded from the oficial site and when I try to run a model with ForceBeamElement I have all the results zero (0.0), but
if I run the model with version 2.4.6 or 2.4.4 downloaded from the site the results are ok. It also has problems with transient analysis, it does not converge for version 2.5.0 but it goes well for version 2.4.4 and 2.4.6

Do you know how to solve the problem?
Thanks in advance

Hello to everybody,
I want to plot the base shear vs displacement of an structure using the "recorder plot " command.
The problem is I have a 3 -bays frame and the base shear is the sum of 4 reactions, so I use the "recorder Node -file reactions.out -node 1 2 3 4 -dof 1 reaction" to save the reactions in a file named "reactions.out" and "recorder Node -file displacements.out -node 13 -dof 1 disp" to save displacement in another file named "displacements.out".
Is there any way to save the displacement and the sum of the 4 reactions in 1 file and then use the plot comand? (recorder plot $fileName $windowTitle $xLoc $yLoc $xPixels $yPixels -columns $xCol0 $yCol0 <-columns $xCol1 $yCol1> ...)
thank you very much for your help!

Hello All,
I downloaded and compiled Opensees 2.5 with Visual Studio 2010. I added a new material and element and It has compiled good. The program runs well with new material and element, and with old files. The problem is when I try to run eigenvalues analysis, I have the following errror:

forrtl: severe (408): fort: (18): Dummy character variable 'WHICH' has
which is greater than actual variable length -858993460

It does not happend with compiled versions of OpenSees.
Do you know How can I fix this error?

Thank you in advance and I'm sorry for bothering you and my bad english.

Hello All,
I was runing Opensees 2.4.4 with some elements and materials I've developed. They were running ok but when I try to run Opensees 2.5 with the same input file the program crushes.
I have checked the tcl version and opensees version (32 bits).

Do you know how to solve this problem?
Thank you

Thank you very much to all of you, I've solved the problem!!

Thanks for your answer, maybe my explanation was not good. It is a retroffiting problem.
I have an RC frame running and with the final state of the frame I want to introduce some new elements to retroffit the frame. It is not a different frame, it is the original frame damaged due to the response of the first run.
In fact, the real problem is an RC frame with a masonry infill (I have developed a new element and material for masonry infills and they work very well) and I want to remove the panel and add a Steel plate shear wall to retroffit the original wall. That's why I need to start a new run with new elements in a previous model already run.

I cannot find any example to model this kind of problem. I'm trying with a simple RC frame and then add to struts and if everything goes well then try the Infill frame.

Hope you can understand my problem.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hello All,
I want to model an RC frame and run a cyclic analysis. After that I want to add 2 struts to the same RC frame and start a new analysis but considering the final state of the frame elements.
I already have the model of the RC frame runing but I don't know how to add new elements to that frame and run the example again.
Do you have an idea to doing this?
Thank you all!!!
