RE: USe of ZeroLengthContactASDimplex
Posted: Thu Jun 19, 2025 9:01 pm
Hi,
I am having some difficulties trying to use the contact element ZeroLengthContactASDimplex.
The current OpenSees exe I'm using is Version 3.8.0 64-Bit.
However, I am receiving an error stating that the element type is not recognised. This is the command I am inputting into the executable to apply this contact element:
element ZeroLengthContactASDimplex 4001 7087 1148 1e10 1e10 0.60 -orient 1 1 0 -intType 0
Can you advise on how to apply ZeroLengthContactASDimplex elements?
Thank you, I look forward to your reply.
Sincerely,
Ryan
