Error "special purpose"

Post by sribeiro » Sun Mar 05, 2023 12:50 pm

Hello,

I have been trying to run a model with a fibre section. Even though it is a very simple situation, when I run the model, this error appears (see image).
Does anyone know what I have been doing wrong?

The error in "red" is pretty clear. It says that you cannot assign the Fiber section directly to a beam-column element. Instead, you have to create a BeamSectionProperty where you choose the integration scheme and the section you want.
