The OpenSees Community

Been working on (for personal use) a script to transfer the model from SAP2000 to OpenSees. If there's any interest on it, here it is - SAP2000toOS.exe: http://deltainnoveering.com/index.php?go=resources

Hi saprasad,

Yes, it is possible. You need to use OpenSeesMP as explained here:
opensees.berkeley.edu/OpenSees/.../parallel/OpenSeesMP.pdf

Hope it helps.

Hi!

Has anyone used OpenSEES for 3D modelling of reinforced concrete (brick and truss elements, not as frame made of beams and columns...)?
If yes, is it good?

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I try to run OpenSeesSP using 'mpiexec -np 2 OpenSeesSP example.tcl', but looks like nothing happens!

I get no error message, but no output at all either; simply the prompt!!

Can anyone help please?

Thanks!

Hi,

When I try to download the Parallel binaries I am just forwarded to the OpenSees home web page "http://opensees.berkeley.edu/index.html" even though the link reads "http://opensees.berkeley.edu/OpenSees/c ... .0.exe.zip".

Any idea?

Thank you!

Hi ja_abell,

Could you compile the parallel version?

Thanks

I just solved it.
I am actually on Ubuntu and I had not changed the 'rpath' on the makefile...

thanks!

Hi,

I am trying to add a new material and first tested the ElasticPPcpp. I used 'make' and created libraries.
Then, when I use the example1, I get the message "Could not create uniaxialMaterial...".

Is there anything else I should do?

Thank you!

Has anyone compiled OpenSees for Ubuntu 10? I was unsuccessful... beginner anyway
Posting the makefile.def would be very much appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

I don't think you can do that, unless you modify the code.

I've used LoadControl in both cases.
It also works with linear elements, but not with nonlinear ones.

I will check your example;
Thank you again!

Thank you Silvia, I solved that in general, but in my model I experience something strange: When I apply a load at a node, I get displacements and forces. When I remove the load and apply an "sp" at the same node and same dof, I get no forces in the structure. (The file recording the displacements a...

Thank you Silvia,

That's what I have been trying actually, but for each sp, the displacement starts from zero, instead of starting from the previous displacement.

Hi,

Is it possible to apply cyclic displacements on two nodes simultaneously?

Thank You!

Hi,

Is there a way to connect (merge) nodes with same coordinates?

I create two 3D blocks for example and I want to merge the nodes at the intersection of these blocks.

Thank you!
