Re: Parametes from J2 plasticity model

Thanks a lot !
I tried it - but it shows the message:
"More than 25 iterations in constituive subroutine J2-plasticity "

Parametes from J2 plasticity model

Hi,
Can somebody tell me about the parameters in J2 plasticity.
nDMaterial('J2Plasticity', matTag, K, G, sig0, sigInf, delta, H)

What are delta and H ?
How to calibrate them from experimental stress-strain curve ?

Re: analyze failed

Lapack errors are because - there is some discontinuity in your model or no proper support i.e. your model is moving as a rigid body

Moment releases for 3-d elasticBeamColumn

Hi, In the GitHub source of elasticBeamColumn3d, I see implementation of moment releases. Are they exposed to interpreters ? OpenSeesPy documentation talks only about 2d case. If anybody has used them in their local compilation, can you please tell me if they are working properly? What does 0,1,2,3 ...

Re: Bridge Model with Truss and Beam-Column Elements OR End Moments Release

I think you should also fix out of plane DOF for 3-D truss elements.
For example if the pushover load is in x-y plane the for truss end nodes the fixity should be - fix(0,0,1,1,1,1) - arrest z movement
if the load is in x-z plane then fixity should be - fix(0,1,0,1,1,1) - arrest y movement

Re: Kernel dead with node recorder

Sorry sir,
Problem solved. The "-" before the "-disp" caused the kernel to be dead. Now its working.
The correct command is:
ops.recorder('Node','-file','disp.txt','-node',2,'-dof',1,'disp')

Kernel dead with node recorder

I am using node recorder as
"ops.recorder('Node','-file','disp.txt','-node',2,'-dof',1,'-disp')"
If I comment out this line code runs properly, but if I include this the message shows up - "kernel dead...."___"Restarting kernel"..

Did anyone face this issue..? Can you help me out..?
Thank you.

Re: large displacement large strain

Can you include that effect in your material model ?
As far as my understanding goes with OpenSees - it is strong in material modelling. So when using OpenSees always think - can I convert this phenomenon into a material model..? At least I tend to think like that - personally.

Re: Composite Section Using Two Elements

Instead of going for two elements - I think it's better to go for two materials in a same beam element cross section. This is possible using fiber section. https://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index.php/OpenSees_Example_9._Build_%26_Analyze_a_Section_Example See this presentation for visualizing a com...
