The OpenSees Community

Dear Zackchen,

I have downloaded the latest version. However, I failed to read the ReadMe file, possibly due to Chinese characters. Can we have a completely English version of the file?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Thank you for providing this new useful tool to the community. Eagerly waiting for the Linux version.

Thanks and Regards.

Dear Zhum, Sorry for my delayed response. 1. I was trying to use the pvdRecorder command as suggested by you (earlier post). 2. I have a single quad element excited by a sinusoidal base acceleration. 3. Used the following command to get pvd file for displacement, velocity acceleration and element st...

Hi, it is reg your last question, about CCW node numbering. Assume that you have a 4 noded element whose nodes are 1 (LowerLeft), 2 (LowerRight), 3 (UpperRight) and 4(UpperLeft). Then you may write element $eleType $eleTag 1 2 3 4 Alternatively you can also write element $eleType $eleTag 2 3 4 1 But...

Dear Zhum, Thanks a lot for your reply. I am sorry for my delayed response. I will concentrate on the issues raised in my questions 5 and 6 later. If i find some reasonable answer, i will let you know. Thanks for your help. I am not yet able to test those commands, being away from my campus. If need...

Dear fmk
Thanks a lot for your reply. Congratulations for this new development.

Dear Zhum, Thanks a lot for your reply. Now the pvdRecorder command is clear to me from your reply and I will try them now. Infact, since I was unable to get any eleResponse recorded in pvdRecorder so I tried it along with element tag later. Also would you please shed some light on my question 5 and...

Dear fmk,
Is it available for Linux as well? If not yet, when should we expect it?

Dear fmk and all,
Waiting eagerly for your support on the issue.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Dear fmk, 1. I think your question was related to eleResponse command and not regarding Element recorder command. 2. I have tested it as follows (a single quad element in 2D domain): -------------------------------------------------------------- set fileId [open OnlyStresses.out w] set d [eleRespons...

Hi fmk
Thanks for your reply. Yes. They work in normal element recorder.

Dear All, 1. After waiting long for the required commands I tried the PFEM commands as described in the web page (my last post). 1a. The command syntax shown is as follows: recorder pvd $filename <disp> <vel> <accel> <reaction> <mass> <eigen> <-precision $precision> <eleResponse > Note: A directory ...

Hi. 1.Thanks Jhno for enlightening me on eleResponse command. 2.Regarding 'valid' queries 'stress' and 'stresses', may we request the developers and fmk to throw some light? 3.I think this is an important question many of us have thought of raising in the past and has been raised by Jhno now. Regards.

Dear fmk and all, 1. I have got the new OpenSees (2.5.0) compiled in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, 64 bit :D 2. This was possible only after complete removal of earlier version and complete new download. Possibly there was some conflict with different svn downloads at different times. 3. Also I had to do corres...

Hi, 1. I don't think there is any command called eleResponse. Rather, the requested response(s) of the selected element(s) can be obtained in the recorder file(s). 2. The kind of valid response request (in the recorder command) depends on the kind of element one uses. 3. These can be found in the co...
