Yes it does, check out this video:

You probably did nor merge the geometry, please check it.

Hi Chaymaa,

You are right, you need also to consider the spandrels at the first floor. please add to Clarabella's idealization the spandrels at the base.

Hi Chaymaa,

I found an example for you (there are many):

Please check the literature, you will find a lot of interesting papers.

Good luck!

Dear Chaymaa,

The horizontal connections improve the in-plane and out-of-plane strength of masonry.
It is not correct to model the walls as you did. You need to model the equivalent frame in the usual way increasing the wall strength. Typically the shear strength increases of 30/50% you should ...

Hi Chaymaa,

I did not understand what you would like to model. Could you please provide more details?

Thank you

Hi,
Cylindrical compressive strength.

You can use the implex contact we implemented in OpenSees and define the friction. It is the perfect way if you want to model rocking or a general contact.

You can define regions In the preprocessor and then in the recorder indicates to save only those regions. You can have as many recorders as you like and save data from different regions. For example displacements of the entire model or stresses of a small portion

Yes you can program it in python, you can check Dr. Petracca's webinars
