Looks like I got the solution now...The modelbuilder file is located in the same directory as the new material.

But the thing is, I don't know how to change the Tcl Model Builder. Can somebody help me? Where should I make the change to TclModelBuilder? Thank you.

I found the Tcl Builder now. It is in the Class tcl--Source Files

Hi I read from " How to introduce a new material into OpenSees, by Michael H. Scott" that " New material model must be added to the OpenSees Tcl model builder in order to be used by analysis models defined in Tcl scipt files.

Hi, Following steps in http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index.php/Windows_Vista_DLL_Creation, I've built the .dll file. I am a little confused in the testing part.

Hello, I downloaded the C++ package to compile OpenSees.exe. Software I used is Visual Studio 2010. I opened opensees2005.sln and built it. There are no errors in the log. However, the opensees.exe produced can not work well. When I run models with my opensees. it shows " Debug Error! Program: fromO...

Problem solved. Here is the right way: "The problem is that the zeroLength element only works with uniaxialMaterials and not hystereticBackbone objects. However, they are very similar. To get around it, you should first define your hystereticBackbone ReeseSoftClay, then define a uniaxialMaterial Bac...

Here is my experience in installing TCL/TK in 64 bit Windows 7 OS. Is is very very important to left click the TCL/TK.exe and click "run as administrator". If you don't do this, Windows 7 will not allow you to change installation folder. Just to share with people, in case others have the same problem.

Hello, In the forllowing website, it used "PySimple1" to create py material for zerolength spring. Can I use other command (instead of PySimple1) to create the py material? I tried "hystereticBackbone ReeseSoftClay" but it does work. After run the program, it shows "material doesn't exist". Can you ...

I used "hystereticBackbone ReeseSoftClay" to replace "uniaxialMaterial PySimple1" command.

In order to check if this is the problem, I put a "put...
