Cannot find pdm.dll

[HBC_FEM]

Hallo,

I tried to run a file and received an error message saying that the pdm.dll file could not be found. However, the file is located in the folder C:\OpenSees-Solver\OpenSees3.7.0\plugins. Does anyone know what this problem is?

If the installation of the OpenSees-Solvers is correct, and you are running it one of the batch files (opensees.bat, openseesp.bat or openseesmp.bat) OpenSees should find that DLL

thanks, it seems to work.
But now i have another error message (see attachment).
You may help one more time.

regards.

Put the DamageTC3D material into a PlateFiber ND material wrapper, and use that in the layered section

[HBC_FEM]

that was already done.
Beton material was the TC3D and Beton ext was the plate fiber material.
But it seems that there is a problem with the rebar fiber. I am not sure.

sorry but from the image I cannot see the material types.
Can you share the model?

[HBC_FEM]

i can send the .scd file via E-Mail at [email protected] if it is possible.

You can attach it here after zipping it

You have to use PlateRebar for shells, not PlaneStressRebars (which is for 2D plane-stress analysis):

Then you will find an error about the compressive fracture energy being too small...
