Dear All,
I had a question about Joint2D in OpenSEES.
Is the joint2D valid for modelling panel zone in steel frames also or is it meant to be used for modelling panel zone in RC frames only?

Thanks

Thank you Prof.

An easy way to do both material and geometric nonlinear with frame elements is to use a "corotational mesh": https://wp.me/pbejzW-Bh Sir, I read your post. I just wanted to ask that when you say co-rotational mesh, do you mean using multiple non-linear frame elements(force/displacement based) with ...

Thank you Prof. for your answer. I'll check out the post.

Thanks Ashok for your reply. I have not thought of including geometric non-linearity into my material model. Can you suggest of some simple examples to begin with or refer to a some problem in which the effects of geometric non-linearity has been taken into account in the material model itself. than...

Dear all,
Is it possible to perform a large displacement large strain non-linear analysis in OpenSEES? The co-rotational transformation as mentioned in the documentation is based on large displacement-small strain formulation.

Thanks

Dear All,
I have a question about changing the initial conditions of a dynamic analysis in OpenSEES. I wanted to ask how can we input initial conditions to a transient dynamic analysis in opensees? I want my system to have some initial velocity. Is it possible to do that?

Thankyou sir. I will try it.

Ok. Thank you for your answer. I'll try it.

I am running a transient dynamic analysis under an element removal scenario in opensees. I am repeatedly getting segmentation faults and bus errors. Can someone help me with resolving the errors? I have pasted the script below #################################################################### # 2-...

Please specify what the errors are. When I use "Fiber Section" as the section type, I get the following error: 1. SectionForceDeformation *getSectionForceDeformation(int tag) - none found with tag: 3 WARNING section not found Section: 3nonlinearBeamColumn element: 2020101 - This error also exists f...

Can anyone help me understand how can I track the motion of a falling element so as to capture the impact due to falling debris in progressive collapse? If someone can share an example of how to do that, it will be really helpful.
Thanks

Also when I use the section type as Elastic, the following error is shown for the infill section:-
set InfilSectionForceDeformation *getSectionForceDeformation(int tag) - none found with tag: 10
WARNING section does not exist
section: 10
