Re: self-weight be applied to the boundary elements

Dear STKO team:

Thank you for your reply. After studying this topic for some time, I’ve become very interested in the AbsorbingBoundary3D element developed by the STKO team. It’s a remarkable achievement, and I’m looking forward to the next version of STKO. I also have a quick question—if you could ...

Extraction of Node Stresses During Post-Processing

Dear STKO team,
I have a question and would appreciate your help. As far as I can tell, the current STKO calculation results only display stress values at Gauss points. I would like to further extract the stress calculation results at nodes. To that end, I’ve been learning how to use the Python API ...

Re: ASD absorb Boundary condition

Thank you for your reply. I will use version 3.7.2 for the calculations. I would like to ask you about the “update the G values in the absorbing boundary” feature, is ASDAbsorbingBoundary2D element now available for use?
Best regards!

Re: self-weight be applied to the boundary elements

Thank you very much for your reply and the STKO team for their help during my study!
I created two models to investigate how adding self-weight to the AbsorbingBoundary3D element affects the results. The specific settings are shown in the figures below: Figure 1 shows the AbsorbingBoundary3D element ...

self-weight be applied to the boundary elements

Dear STKO team
After applying self-weight to the ASDAbsorbingBoundary3D elements, I have tried various approaches, but the model fails to yield satisfactory results during the generation of the initial stress field. Therefore, I would like to ask you the following questions:

1) During the setup of ...

Re: ASD absorb Boundary condition


The absorbing boundary condition is based on linear elasticity theory.

However, we are now trying to update the G values in the absorbing boundary, using a Nonlinear material. To do so, in the new version you can assign a material rather then G,v,rho values.

Note that it has been implemented ...

Solid Models with Embedded Rebars

Dear STKO Team,
Recently, I followed the example in “Modeling RC Shear Walls in OpenSees and STKO - Shell and Solid Models with Embedded Rebars” to build a model. However, I have been unable to achieve results similar to those demonstrated in the webinar. Could you please help me identify the cause ...
