In plane stress, planar elements acts as membrane, hence the same model cannot be used. Z direction should be fixed for all free nodes, because in our case the analysis is still performed in 3D (other solver limitates the number of dofs in such cases).
We’ll look to the other error, which involves output only – it seems however a solver limitation, hence we reloaded the patch (reinstall the program from the full installer).
Thanks for the sample, if you have one also for planestress we’ll test in deep the correction we made, available on the next patch.
You’re right and we expected your enquiry – that’s why we’re adding the command to APIs in the next patch.
Dear Luciano,
we support plane strain as well. To convert quad or tria elements to plane strain, select the elements, the use the command Edit / Change elem. type / select the option Is -> PlaneStrain and finally press Apply.Unfortunately it’s not possible to change the pre-defined element to be used. If you can share you model we can check further.
Hello,
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? thanksHello,
by design, we choose to not implement multipliers columns in section properties, as we already translate the multipliers when importing models from other programs.Hello,
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.Hello,
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.Hello,
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.
