Hello,
please update your version to 2.2.1.0 from now on.

Hello,
the problem is related to pythonnet, not to our API. You need to use the List object from .NET to access the method. Please find attached amended script.

Hello,
we investigated the issue and turned out that there’s probably a problem in your local ISP – unfortunately we can do nothing for that. We can advice you retry with a VPN (i.e. using Opera browser).

Hi Stephen,
no, there’s no documentation on xml format as well, as it is easily readable. If you have some specific queries please write a mail to us or have a look at Devs’ manual (https://www.nextfem.it/it/help-support/) – it could be easier to transmit info via API than using XML of JSON format.

[NextFEM Admin]

Hello,
sorry no documentation on this, that option imports the same model as in XML format, but in Json. Contents must be the same, except that Json format can be written in a more compact (but less readable) way.

Hello,
loadPackage has not been made for working directly in OpenSees shell, please use inside script. Anyway, rSpectrum has been tested only with procedure011.tcl included with NextFEM Designer.

Hello,
for beam elements, the option “Second-order” includes only P-Delta effects.

[NextFEM Admin]

Hello,
thanks for your interest in NextFEM Designer. Unfortunately, Mises material is not currently applicable to beam elements, and it has been tested on shells and solid.
You can always transform the beam to shell elements by the command Edit / Extrude sections.
Pick a proper discretizazion lenght under Options/Solver tab/Mesh and output preferences box/Mesh size before to go.
Please find attached a sample screen. Then you can set the nonlinear analysis.
Hope this helps

EDIT:
I forgot to mention that the proper thickness has to be assigned to the generated shells.

Hi Marcello,
thanks for reporting this. We’re constantly improving GUI settings also for font magnification over 100%. Initially, 100% would be required for installer, then it has been corrected and now it’s fully compatible.
In Designer, we’ll introduce the compatibility also for Model Data window in the next patch.

regards

[NextFEM Admin]

Hello,
we’ll prepare a patch for this unexpected behaviour – we’ll warn you when released.
