Error messages

Guest · Post by **Guest** » Fri Nov 05, 2004 3:02 pm

Hi

I wanted to know what sort of error message would be output in openSEES when the size of the model being analysed is too large for the available computer resources. Is there a particular message that is displayed?

Thanks

you will see (i hope) an out-of-memory message .. there is no fixed limits on model sizes in OpenSees .. all memory is requested from the heap .. in the code we try to ensure that after every call to the os for more memory,we check that memory was available .. if no memory is avail we (i hope) print an error message and typically exit the program gracefully instead of a resulting segmentation fault.

too much node can lead error message

e.g
----- "node Tag" is a very large number ,you can try by yourself.

how many nodes do you have .. and what is the largest node number you have?

e.g 5000000000(or a smaller number)

I use Example:Rigidframe3D.tcl,make node 1=>node 5000000000
the the OS give ...Warraing:integer value too large to represent

perhaps it's because my own system try yourself
