I do reversed cyclic analysis using nonlinearBeamColumn and dsipBeamColumn,respectively.
But the result are very different.For example,the max force are larger when using dsipBeamColumn.
Why?
Thanks!
Why different result from nonlinearBeamColumn and dsipBeamCo

Re: Why different result from nonlinearBeamColumn and dsipBe
I suggest that you should study the following presentation concerining the differences between these two elements. http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... ed_Element In general, displacement-based elements require a more detailed meshing in order to provide accurate forces.
