Dear Dr.fmk I want to use Single OpenSees parallel Interpreter for analysis of my model. I have read "Using the OpenSees Interpreter on Parallel Computers ,Frank McKenna.2008". you have mentioned there to create "makefile.def" in Unix-based machines. 1) Is this necessary for Single OpenSees parallel...

Dear what do the lines below mean in "Using the OpenSees Interpreter on Parallel Computers.pdf"? or clearly how can I done these items? 6) Create Directories for the OpenSees .exe and libraries In the HOME directory given above create directories lib and bin. 7) Build the .exe In the HOME/OpenSees d...

Hi,
Thanks for you attention.
I want to catch the plastic rotation in fiber element ends instead of curvature

hi,
can I use Joint2D-1SPR with 4 springs around the joint instead of Joint2D-5SPR ?
if yes,how the constriants should be defined?

Hi,
How can we record plastic rotation of end of an RC column with the fiber section?

How can we record rotation of a section instead of its curvature?

Can we use Uniaxial section with nonlinearBeamColumn element ?

I am member of an earthquake engineering research group, working on damage analysis of asymmetric structures. We try to use OpenSees modeling application in our research. We saw Haselton using “Joint2D” element command in his modeling, but could not find this command in OpenSees manual. We want to f...

I have programmed to have a pushover analysis of 3D frame using fiber element method with Opensees 2.1.0 . I can not get results but zero. please help me with it. wipe #----- Units & Constants -------- set cm 1; set sec 1; set N 1; puts "end of units" #---- material parameters ------- # E in N/cm^2 ...
