NextFEM AdminKeymasterUnfortunately it’s not possible to change the pre-defined element to be used. If you can share you model we can check further.
NextFEM AdminKeymasterHello,
OOFEM is tested directly by us, while we perform on OpenSees a limited testing. Please consider also that the moment per unit lenght you see in opensees are retrieved directly from stress recovery performed in post-processing (in fact, OS will not give the stress in nodes but only in GPs).
Can you please share the model in order to make a further investigation? thanks
NextFEM AdminKeymasterHello,
by design, we choose to not implement multipliers columns in section properties, as we already translate the multipliers when importing models from other programs.
NextFEM AdminKeymasterThe command will be fixed in the next patch.
NextFEM AdminKeymasterHello,
this is normal, as you can see from the diagrams, OpenSees output only 2 stations for results (I and J). To see the whole diagrams, activate “Results/More output stations” when you’re watching diagrams.August 13, 2025 at 1:08 pm in reply to: Modeling of a single rebar responsible for tension in a beam #6197
NextFEM AdminKeymasterHello,
In Fast rebar positioning box, select Bottom and 1 bar, the press Add. Same for Top. If 1 bar is selected, then it will be positioned in the center.
Remember also to select the rebar size on the left of rebar table before to use fast rebar positioning.August 12, 2025 at 11:19 am in reply to: the functions of “Rect. base” and “Strand in “assign beam rebar “ #6195
NextFEM AdminKeymasterHello,
Rect. Base means you can assign a rectangular shaped rebar, by specifying it’s base. Height is automatically determined by Area valueStrand is the option to assign a strand or tendon prestress to the specified rebar.
NextFEM AdminKeymasterHello,
as told, ImportExport module is the sole module you need to enable export in IFC formats.
NextFEM AdminKeymasterHello,
ImportExport module is needed to handle IFC export. The program suports IFC2x3 and IFC4, including structural domain.
NextFEM AdminKeymasterYes, you can download new 2.6. Follow one of our social to get news about new releases.
NextFEM AdminKeymasterHello,
now it’s clear: we don’t support HingeRadauTwo:
# #eleTag #iNode #jNode $transfTag* #secTagi #Lpli #secTagj #Lplj #secTagInterior
element forceBeamColumn 1 1 17 1 “HingeRadauTwo 1 0.304 1 0.304 1”but
element beamWithHinges $eleTag $iNode $jNode $secTagI $Lpi $secTagJ $Lpj $E $A $Iz $Iy $G $J $transfTag
(this was the old syntax)We’ll implement this in the next version (coming on 1st July).
I can anticipate the read model; I believe T beams should be double-checked.Attachments:

NextFEM AdminKeymasterDear Kostas,
forcebeamcolumn elements are supported, so the problem should be elsewhere. I ask if you can share the model (if you don’t want to upload it here, please send it by the form at the bottom of Support page).
NextFEM AdminKeymasterHello,
please find below:
1. we support prestressing on cross-section checking and during analysis by using a pretension load (see Assign / Loads / Pretension load mask).
2. what do you need nominal curvature method by EC2 for? we provide directly the numerical moment-curvature curve. If you need 2nd order effects in analysis, activate P-Delta or “2nd order” options for non-linear analysis
3. We don’t support directly a point load without a supporting node; however in the model you attached you get errors because you need the command Edit / Check model / Check line mesh, otherwise your model has free nodes.
The suggested way is to remove the free nodes, and to apply a distributed non uniform load instead of the point load.
You’re dealing with a tapered section (conical), hence it’s best to have a single element without further splitting.regards
NextFEM AdminKeymasterHello,
by design, we choose the user cannot specify section properties modifiers for elements, but directly for sections. Hence, if needed, duplicate the columns section, and double click on it. On the last tab of Section Properties, specified the magnified area value.
NextFEM AdminKeymasterCSI software also uses Timoshenko hypothesis, unless you can disable it. In any case, there are many things that can cause differences (e.g. auto-meshing in CSI, etc.).
