Re: Debugging C++ (Visual Studio) source code with “.tcl” fi
you have to build a debug version of OpenSees in VS as we do not release a debug version .. running the released version will not work as there is no data in the exe with which the debugger can use.

to what end are you storing the state! .. the only alternative would be to recompute from the start.

Re: Composite beam with concentrated plasticity
assuming you have nodes at the column line floor intersections. 1) add 2 duplicate nodes for the ele ends. 2) use equalDOF to connect nodes to existing nodes for the translational dof 3) add elastic beam between these 2 new nodes 4) add a bilin material for moment-rotation of the spring 5) add 2 spr...

Re: BaseLine
the dt of the analysis and the steps in the Path times series do not have to be the same .. OpenSees just uses linear interpolation to get the timeseries value at whatever time the domain is at.

Re: Writing code and running code
a file editor such as notepad on windows.
when you start OpenSees type "pwd" to see what directory the application starts in .. use the cd command to get to the directory the file is in before you source it.

Re: dashpot connect with nonlinear spring in series
if you are getting results, then you can .. whether the results are correct or not is something else .. looking at the code in the Maxwell model, i would doubt it .. this of course assumes young Prof. Dimitrios Lignos got it correct .. perhaps you should send him an email. He is now is Switzerland. ...

Re: Problem with using DataBase commands in OpenSees
the material you are using: Concrete07 was not added to the ObjectBroker code, i have added the code. if you can build the beast that is OpenSees you can start using the code know.

Re: ShellDKGT
not seeing the error:
fgrep ShellDKGQ ShellDKGT.*
ShellDKGT.cpp: s << "EL_ShellDKGQ\t" << eleTag << "\t";
can you post a 4 node example that just creates 4 nodes, 1 material and 1 element

Re: Applied displacement
the trick was only needed if there were no accelerations at the base. as you are using the Penalty method, the base nodes appear in the equations and Newmark is solving for them and updating accelarations at the node. Sometimes people when using Penalty, also keep the fixity in the dof which results...

Re: Applied displacement
the accel should be 0 (unless you used Penalty) .. you should be able to set the accel by including the -accel acelSeriesTag to the time groundMotion (possibly an undocumented feature) .. if you used Penalty tou could check the results for the accel by creating a Matlab script and using the relation...

Re: Why does not the period change even though shear is incl
you cannot use with disp beam element, your only choice is to switch to forcebeam element .. or put element in parallel with a force beam element with negligably small elastic section (can't be too small as has to invert it) and the shear aggregator you are using.
