Error with ForceBeamColumn3d

Post by HuanruZhu » Mon Aug 15, 2022 5:16 am

Hi All,

Im creating a model to perform time history analysis of MDOF. I want to apply gravity first and here is the partial python code. it keeps raising error. Could anyone help me? thank you so much

numstory = 9
w = 2200 # weight
k = 1600
h = 1440 # total height
g = 386.1
b = 1800
d = 1800
bw = 2000
sM = 1 * pow(10, -3) # floor rotational mass
# nodal coordinates:
ops.node(1, 0, 0, 0) # node , X Y
# Single point constraints -- Boundary Conditions
ops.fix(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) # node DX DY RZ

for i in range (2, numstory + 2, 1): # here we are modelling 9 floors in total
ops.node(i, 0, 0, (i - 1) * (h / numstory))
ops.fix(i, 0, 0, 1, 1, 1, 0)
ops.mass(i, w / g, w / g, w / g, sM, sM, sM)

# Define ELEMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------
ops.geomTransf('PDelta', 1, 0, 1, 0) # associate a tag to transformation

E = 29000
A = d * b
I = k * (h / numstory) * (h / numstory) * (h / numstory) / (12 * E)
G = 1 * pow(10, 4)
J = 1 * pow(10, 8)

ColMatTagAxial = 1
EACol = E * A
ops.uniaxialMaterial('ModIMKPeakOriented', ColMatTagAxial, k, 0.01, 0.01, 600, -600, 1,
