I know I can use zero-length element or two-node link element with a finite length. However, the problem is while all the nodes in my model are 2dof, the nodes that I connect a flatslidebearing element require to have 3dof. Therefore, my question to you is that have you ever utilized flatsliderbeari...

Hi,

Could you please help on what is the possible way to include base isolator (for example, flatsliderbearing) into a 2d 2dof model?

Thanks,
C.

You should install mpich2 in the following way:

nope, not because of that. I solved that. It was related to installing applications.

All applications should be installed as "run as administrator".

Hi Sanazzz,

Did you have a problem like "child killed: unknown signal"?

When I type command "mpiexec -np 4 OpenSeesMP Test.tcl" it gives that error?

by the way, mpich2 is working in windows 10.

Thanks,
C.

it came to me like if i use "set Successful [open Success.$pid.out w]" for each loop it will open each file and will create many files at the end. But what i want to do is to have two txt files which will write successfully completed analysis $Filenames in one of them and will write unsuccessfully c...

Hi Frank, Thanks for reply. My model is like; set startT [clock seconds] # ================================================ # # Create ModelBuilder for Shear wall # # ================================================ # set pid [getPID] set np [getNP] set count 0; # ===================================...

Hi Frank, When I run extensive (more than 1000) time history analysis, I want to record the file names which converge and don't converge so I can remove the unconverged output files before post-processing. Can you please help what I should add in the code? I am trying to use below commands, it somet...

Do you still have any problem?

If you are developing large models in OpenSees, I would say, using starcluster is not an efficient way to perform your analysis. If you just have frame models, than you can use starcluster to run your analyses quicker.

Cheers,

You can also watch the video in the following link which helps you how to modify your own config file. http://star.mit.edu/cluster/index.html

Hi Kai,

1AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID = #your_aws_access_key_id
2AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY = #your_secret_access_key
3AWS_USER_ID= #your userid
4[key mykey]
5KEY_LOCATION=~/.ssh/mykey.rsa
6KEYNAME = mykey
7Cluster size

Those information should be enough. Also cluster size you need to check.

You shoud open command prompt in this directory "C:\Python27\Scripts" by shift button and right click. Then you should type "pip install StarCluster". ***You may also need to install Visual Studio if you confront any problems when installing StarCluster.*** This is very important. Hope this helps.

Dear Kai, When you would like to install setuptools, please use mozilla firefox. When you click on ez_setup.py, it will directly be installed. You will install StarCluster by running CMD in this directory C:\Python27\Scripts. You can find detailed information here.. https://drive.google.com/drive/fo...

Are you sure? Because I am using quad elements for my 2d 2dof model.
