Problem in Displaying Modal Shape, Push-over Analysis, etc.

Post by suuzie » Fri Jul 21, 2023 1:02 pm

Today I downloaded the latest version of OpenSees (Version 3.5.0 64-Bit).
The last update of my OpenSees was 2 years ago, and I found a few differences between the old one and the new one.

I needed to install Tcl when I installed the old one, but this time it seemed that I just needed to download OpenSees.

Another thing I noticed was that my structure was not displayed when I run modal analysis (mode shapes) and pushover analysis.

I want to see the mode shape of my structure when I run modal analysis, and also I want to see how the structure deforms when I run pushover analysis.

Is there any way to display my structure using the latest version of OpenSees (Version 3.5.0 64-Bit)?

It seems that compiling OpenSees using VisualStudio instead of downloading it form OpenSees website can mitigate the problem. The instructions on how to compile OpenSees on your computer available from some YouTube:
