In the current version, the hex export for OpenSees is not supported. We’ll add this to our to-do list!
Dear user,
thanks for your interest in NextFEM Designer. Thanks also for your suggestion, but degenerating a brick element to a tetra geometry will produce a mal-formed mesh, and provokes huge convergence problems in non-elastic analyses. Hence, we cannot take this into consideration for a future version.
RegardsElasticBeamColumn can be imported but Elastic Section don’t, since it has nothing to do with that beam elements (the beam supports many sections). Anyway, I’ll put such features in our to do list.
EDIT: the OpenSees Elastic Section definitely cannot be read in Designer since the section shape and dimensions are not specified in the OS script. Moreover, there’s no associated material to it, since it has to be defined with E ang G.
EDIT2: material cannot be associated during reading, but in the next update such section will be imported as a rectangular equivalent. Thanks for your inquiry.
Dear Jiri,
I cannot see your attachment, please try to upload it again or send it to me via email using support@nextfem.it, I’ll be glad to help.Dear user,
I cannot find the attached picture, please provide it. Keep in mind that not all the features of an OpenSees model are imported by Designer, but only the ones listed in the users’ manual.
Mainly, you have to check if materials, sections and analysis data are correctly set and assigned.To run the model with OpenSees, please modify the solver from Tools/Options/Solvers.
Actually, we don’t have the possibility to introduce stiffness modifiers. Anyway, we do have pipe beam section, you can use that.
Dear parhyang,
with version 1.09, only the slow solver is present. Please be patient for the 1.10 which should be published at the end of this week. You’ll find a option for usign the fast DSS solver.
regardsThe command you refer to is Load Combinations, and it can be used to automatically generate the load combinations as per Eurocode 0. Please write to licensing@nextfem.it to get further information.
We are encoutenring an issue with OpenSees 2.5.0 when the rSpectrum library is used. Please hold on, I’ll write to you when it will be fixed, hope soon.
Regards,
NextFEM Support TeamDear user,
in the screenshot attached I cannot see the folder behind the front message window. This error usually happens when you try to install a 32bit patch over a 64 bit installation. Please ensure to download the proper patch.If the problem persists, please try to temporary change the language setting of your operating system to English, install and then revert to your default locale.
Please report further problems, if any.Dear Jiri,
many thanks for your interest and grats on NextFEM Designer. The master-slave relationship is obtained through rigidarmnodes in OOFEM.
Please remind that not all the files made for OOFEM could be imported in Designer, since we support only a part of the element library and sintax.
If you encounter any troble with master-slave node models please upload here your model, I’ll be glad to give a hand.

with the patch released today we solved the value of s11 (now sxx in the program) shell forces. Please find the patch on:– for 32bit version: http://www.nextfem.it/patches/Patch-02-2017-32.zip
