I am trying to define FRP jackets for columns in the following way, and I get an error saying
"uniaxialMaterial cannot be added to modelbuilder". Is it correct to use a ductility ratio as high as 1000 as shown in the example? Does the outer radius in the patch command include the total thickness of the wrap?
Is it accurate to define the core, cover and wrap as separate patches?
Thank you!

Have you specified a unique material tag?
