How can I model Brace based on FEMA356 using Opensees?

Post by dynaforce » Fri Aug 12, 2016 12:29 am

Dear all.

I try to do "Pushdown analysis"
I want to model concentrically braced frame (2D).
I can define moment-rotation back bone of Beam, Column brased on FEME356 using NonlinearBeamColumnElement & ZeroLengthElement & Hysteretic Material.
but, I don't know how to define hysteretic back bone of Brace (axial load-displacement)
I'm using Truss Element in order to model Brace

Thank you for reading my question.
