Hi All, I have a problem getting load-deformation response history of bar-slip spring on beam-column joint element. When I write the recorder commands on the manual, I did not get any response. Did anybody try these commands? Are they not right? How can I obtain bar-slip spring, interface shear spri...

Hi All, can I ask some questions about moment-curvature results from element recorder? When I get the moment-curvature results from element recorder (force and displacements) after my full analysis of the bridge, I obtained linear M-Curvature curve. When I find plastic rotation values , I got nonlin...

I defined uniaxialMaterial Bond_SP01 as a steel material. I used this material into fiber section to define my columns. I defined zero length section element and gave it this fiber section. then I used recorder Element -file colstsr8.out -time -ele 83 section fiber 6 0 stressStrain; to obtain stress...

Hi Friends,

Do you know I can obtain strain-stress values from zero lenght section element? Are they steel or concrete stress and strain results? Thanks a lot,
Zeynep

Thanks a lot,
Sincerely yours,

Hi All, Anybody knows how can we find the stress and strain values for node I and node J of beamwithhinge element? I found the values for node I with defining the section number 1 but I could not find the results for node J. I tried section number 2 , 3 or 4 but it did not work. Can you help me? Tha...

Ok. I got the wrong. Thanks a lot,

Hi,

In my bridge model, I have seats at the ends of the bridge. There is 0.5 inches gap between seat and deck. I defined Uniaxial Material Elastic Gap to model this. Is that correct? How can I model it? Thanks a lot,
Zeynep

I changed the direction argument correctly. I got same results. Can I send my tcl file to have a look at it little bit?
Thanks
Zeynep

I looked at the example3.3. I applied 1, 2 and 3 directions. But it gave me the same results. I do not find the wrong with it. Can you please help me about that? Can I send my tcl file to look at it? I have to solve this problem and show my results to my advisor but I could not find my wrong? Could ...

Hi,

I am applying uniform acceleration but I do not know which direction 1,2 or 3? Can you please explain me? I applied 1 and 2 directions but it gave the same displacements. What is wrong?
Thanks

Hi Silvia, How can I define the uniaxialMaterial ElasticPPGap to the elastic element? Is that possible? How can I define secTag into the element? I defined uniaxialMaterial ElasticPPGap for the seat of the bridge. I want to define elastic beam column element for the seat sections. But I do not know ...

I have a problem with using recorder elements: I did run successfully, but, failed to run and gave error message. I'm attaching the file used. Could you please check and run the files? Thank you so much for your help. And, I'm looking forward to your answer. ------- set in 1.; # define basic unit --...
