Hi everybody,
I have a simple model of a cantilever elastic beam with 50 elasticBeamColumn elements.
I run the script in OpenSeesSP with 1 and 2 processors but I get different results for the gravity analysis part. The results of single processor are correct and match with analytical. I use -xml flag in the recording command.
Does anybody have any idea about the problem?

are the results different for just the -file option? when i mean duifferent, i mean the numbers are sig different and appear out of order, tiny diffferences in last few digits can occur and are a consequence of roundoff and the fact that the numbers get added in a slightly differerent order to the solver during the sequential case when running in parallel.

If I run one more analysis (time domain analysis under gravity loading) after load control static analysis, I get the the same results. My problem is solved. Thanks.
