mixedBeamColumn for OpenSees.exe

Post by salrubaye » Wed Jan 18, 2023 5:29 pm

Dear,
I was reading a post by Dr. Michael H. Scott. https://portwooddigital.com/2021/06/13/ ... -actually/
He mentioned a mixedBeamColumn element. How to use this element with Opensees.exe (TCL)? I tried, but it though an error "checking library: OPS_mixedBeamColumn
ERROR -- element of type mixedBeamColumn not known"
Thank you,

I guess it has been a while since the downloadable OpenSees.exe has been updated. The element is available in OpenSeesPy.
