equalDOF- Lysmer Dashpot.

Post by jpereirasan » Thu Aug 08, 2024 4:51 am

Hi STKO team. first of all I wanted to thank you in the process of learning opensees and modeling.

I am modeling a soil slope based on this example.
(https://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/inde ... s_of_Slope)

I am having trouble implementing the Lysmer Dashpot and interactions as it comes out in the example.

When I activate the mp constraint EqualDOF in the constraintpattern the analysis does not start and gives the image error.

What do you think is the cause of this problem?
I would appreciate if you can review the model and see where the error is.

Best regards

The error says that node 127 is not in the domain at the time you input the mp command.
This happened because you are doing construction-staged analysis (you are using the modelSubset) to add pieces of the models one at a time. But you added only the soil domain, not the other 2 vertices, so they will never be in the domain.

You either using another modelSubset command to add the other vertices to the model before adding them into a MP constraint, or just remove the modelSubset so that the whole mesh will be added to the domain from the very beginning
