Dear STKO Team,
The clause “PSUMAT - NOT DEFINED IN THIS VERSION, SOURCE CODE RESTRICTED” is appeared when openseesmp solver is used to analyze LayeredShell section with PlaneStressUserMaterial and PlateFromPlaneStress. Analysis successfully finished after too long time with repeating that clause.
This issue is fixed when opensees solver is used.
Is there any subroutine or way to apply these materials for openseesmp solver?
Kind regards,
Rania

It's simply because the source code for the psumat material is not available to the public. The owner put its code directly inside a library, but only for the sequential version on windows.

Dear STKO Team,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
1- To use DamageTC3D instead of PSUMAT material, I tried to analyze the model displayed in the webinar of Shear Wall. The analysis is completed, but unfortunately no damage is displayed (d+ d- equal 0 for all steps). Could I ask you about this matter, please?
2- Material tests for uniaxial and nD materials don’t work in last version 2.0.5 of the program. How could I fix this issue?
Best wishes,

We are aware of that (not able to see the damage in fibers of shell).
Someone made a change in the latest OpenSees version that is in conflict with results on shell fibers other than strain and stress. We are trying to identify the issue and we will fix it soon in the next version.

Regarding the material tester, it was a bug in the very first release of the 2.0.5, if you download it again (2.0.5) the problem should be solved

Is PSUMAT available for parallel computing now? If not, is it possible to reach out to the developer to request implementation? Finally, is there any other similar material/element that can be used to model RC walls?

Thanks

The source-code is not there.
However, we developed the ASDConcrete3D, which can be also used for 3D cases, while PSUMAT was only for plane-stress cases.

Ok. Thanks for quick response.

You're welcome
