Dear all I want to perform a Moment-Curvature analisis using a fiber section, but the problem is that the section is not symmetric neither in an axis nor the other. So the question is: When you create a Fiber Section and and use it in an element (for ex. from node 1 to node 2). The element 'X' axis ...

Dear FMK I have a 2D SCBF model (BasicBuilder -ndm 2 -ndf 3), supose that it is contained on the XZ plane, but I want to include a 2D plate which is orthogonal to this plane (XY plane). The question is if I have to change the BasicBuilder yo -ndm 3 -ndf 6, or it is possible keep using the current co...

Dear fmk I'm trying to run a model using OpenSeesSP, the model runs perfectly on the regular opensees, even if a use SP with np=1, but a get this error message when using OpenSeesSP with np>1 Slave Process Running 1 FEM_ObjectBrokerAllClasses::getNewUniaxialMaterial - - no UniaxialMaterial type exis...

thanks, but that is not happening. The removed element is iside a brace with ten elements, wich is part of a big model. In fact I can remove the element from the beginning, and the model can run the complete ground motion.

Dear fmk Dear Vesna I'm trying to remove an element during a transient analysis, and actually it is working, but when the element is removed the analysis is finished, no matter that the variable currentTime is <tFinal, (i'm using the tipical variables shown in the examples), the current code that I ...

Hi everyone, I have made a 2D model of a SCBF for studing buckling of the braces, following the model shown in the examples (SCBF Vesna's Model) . What I want to know if an element can be removed from the model, or change a property (i.e. set de E modulus to 0) according to the 'real time' results o...

Hello, I'm doing some research on SCBF and BRBF, and recently installed the new version of opensees (2.4.2) because i read that now it includes the SteelBRB element, but there is no explanation of it's argument in the wiki, and the only info. that i can get was from the WebSVN. There you can see tha...

I set the geomtranf parameter as shown: set transfTag_C 1 set transfTag_Brace 2 set transfTag_B 3 # rigid links of columns; columns geomTransf PDelta $transfTag_C # braces, gusset plates geomTransf Corotational $transfTag_Brace # beams geomTransf PDelta $transfTag_B #set beam element (only 1 as exam...
