critical load

Hello,

Do you know how we can determine the critical load for a simple frame? (2 columns & 1 beam with vertical loads on columns).

Thank you.

geometric non-linearity settings

Hi,

i am modeling a 3D truss. would you please tell me how i can apply the geometric non-linearity settings in opensees.
(i know in ANSYS program this command is: [b]NLGEOM,ON[/b] but how define it in opensees?)

in the hysteretic material command we can assign only 3 points for the negative direction and 3 points for the positive direction.if we want define more points,how can we do it? i used the example which imancivil mentioned above, the opensees gives error. would you please help me? uniaxialMaterial H...

Dear silvia&iman

According to your notions when we applying the behavior of material (Hysteretic material) for entire of structure the value of area is independent (each value is correct). isn’t it?

Dear silvia,

would you please tell me why A=1? the area may be greater,equal or less than 1.

Arc Length settings

Dear friends, i have a problem to set the parameters $arclength $alpha. There is my script at the openSsees community with "Euler load" topic: http://opensees.berkeley.edu/community/viewtopic.php?p=16670#16670 one of the members who is "imancivil" repaired my script and explained about arc-length me...

arc-length settings

Dear imancivil

thank you very much. as you mentioned if i use LoadControl integrator, after a few steps analysis fail.

Dear all,

how should i set the $arclength $alpha?
:?:

thnx

Daer silvia, in ANSYS to capture the force-deflection curve for a single element it is possible to apply an axial load on a constrained dof. (use BEAM188 element). with doing the nonlinear static analysis the force-deflection curve obtained. but how can i do it in opensees? I look forward to hearing...

Euler load

i want to get the Euler load (buckling load). the end supports are hinge. the model has imperfection at the center of element, but the deflection is constant. would u please tell me what the problem is? how can i get Euler load #Units: kg,cm wipe model BasicBuilder -ndm 3 -ndf 6 # nodal coordinates:...
