Re: ISSUE RIGID DIAPHRAGM MASONRY SHELL

The model (uploaded at the beginning of this thread) has one partition. I run the analysis with openseesmp. I havent had problems with this. Actually, if I change the type of element to ShellDKGT (for example), the model works.

Re: ISSUE RIGID DIAPHRAGM MASONRY SHELL

Sorry, I have tried to run the model in 3 different computers and it does not run correctly. We have checked that both STKO and OpenSees are updated.

Re: ISSUE RIGID DIAPHRAGM MASONRY SHELL

I have reinstalled both STKO and OpenSees using the 3.7.2 file from here: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/377415389_Compiled_code_for_OpenSees?channel=doi&linkId=65a9210fa59bf45fc9d52ad6&showFulltext=true.
I have run the same file uploaded.
I get the same results...
I am not sure what it ...

Re: ISSUE RIGID DIAPHRAGM MASONRY SHELL

Hi STKO Team,

Thanks for answering so fast.

Thats weird. When I run the analysis, I get the Mumps error and the analysis continues until I get the results. However, as you can see in the screenshot, there is definetly a problem with the solver. Also, the period is super high.

I have STKO 4.1.0 ...

ISSUE RIGID DIAPHRAGM MASONRY SHELL

Dear forum members,

I am modelling masonry arcades using shell elements. I have used a rigid diaphragm constraint to simulate the effect of the roof on top of the arcades being rigid. I have constrained the master node by locking Uz, Rx and Ry. After that, I set up the modal analysis steps ...

Issue on geotechnical materials

Hi STKO,

Do you have any suggestions on how to model available and well-known soil models like the Mohr-Coulomb, the soft soil or the hs-small? We are planning to develop the code to simulate them but I wondered if you have any suggestions or previous ideas. I preferred to ask you first.

I have ...

Error beamshearhinge element

Dear Team,
I have recently installed the new version of STKO.
This error appears when I try to run the analysis of models including the beamShearHingelement/properties. It did not appear before installing this new version. It even appears when I try to run the files that you uploaded for the Week20 ...

Week 20: EFM of trilite and masonry walls

Hi!
I have been trying to reproduce the model you proposed considering the lumped plasticity approach and using zero Length elements. I have not been able to obtain a similar moment-curvature for the bending-axial behaviour. I have followed the approach proposed in the webminar about modelling the ...

Re: Modelling masonry EFM

Hi!
I have been using the RCBeamColumnProperty. I have found that when I select the "lumped plasticity with ZLhinge", some errors appear. The error says that I have to select a material for either Shear Vy, Vz and torsion T. Thinq is that at the ends of the beam, I dont want to add a shear hinge, I ...

Re: Modelling masonry EFM

Thanks for the file. I have been studying what you proposed.

I have been cheking your special purpose RCBeamColumnProperty. I have read some posts on this property and I am aware that it is still under development.

I was wondering if this element is related to the work that was proposed in this ...
