Updating to above versions are working now for OpenSees, however the results are too far. OOFEM solver has shown a consistent and correct answer, not in case using OpenSees solver. Try to understand the problem, I re-create the model then replicates, add loads manually and running. It shown my second duplicated models with manually define load combination are correct, not in case defining these combination trough menus.

Attached a simple example I questioning, running these problem using built-in OOFEM solver working fine. However, it’s not works for OpenSees as solver when I switch in option menus.

Many thanks, finally it’s working. Trying to understand by exporting to tcl files it shown has element hingespr, how do I found a commands requested and citing the references document?

# spring 5
element hingespr 9 5 6 1 8 1000 5 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 \
100
# spring 6
element hingespr 10 7 5 1 8 1000 6 4 0 -1 0 0 0 1 \
10000

Trying to provide requested file and directory, still I got error messages. It seems about version conflict also, where I can get ActiveTcl for version 8.6.10? only version 8.6.9 available there.

I follow as suggested, still it’s not working and sending some message:

application-specific initialization failed: Can't find a usable init.tcl in the following directories: 
    {C:/Program Files/NextFEM/lib/tcl8.6} {C:/Program Files/NextFEM/lib/tcl8.6} {C:/Program Files/lib/tcl8.6} {C:/Program Files/NextFEM/library} {C:/Program Files/library} {C:/Program Files/tcl8.6.10/library} C:/tcl8.6.10/library
This probably means that Tcl wasn't installed properly.

As I guess from analysis logs, it’s call Hinge for OpenSees such as external module by NextFEM. Attached an input files, only standard linear spring element being used. These features are basic common in standard structural analysis software, I’m in case took some comparison with OpenSees solver. May it will be some exception from Nonlinear module of NextFEM ? Thank you for respecting and kindliness.

Thank you for updating, but seems I did not succeed to updates using these commands. Only blipped display, no more info shown, restarting application and displaying version in About dialog menu’s given info as version 1.70p0

will downloading and reinstalling the programs make it works?

Thank you for interested such a features so the user does not need to be modified manually. seems reading result from RigidLink methods are working good for the graphic interfaces. Below is an output from modified tcl files by importing and perform analysis.

Dear Admin,

Thank you for explanation, the language menus make myself a little bit confuse. Looking an exported tcl files gave me an insight, it’s use equalDOF methods rather than RigidLink (beam) keywords. Differentiation about these two methods are lay on eccentricity being consider or not. A further implementation to switch of both methods in menus could be useful.

Regarding to modeling these condition using offset methods as recommended, still the bending moment due eccentricity being ignore by internal solver (OOFEM) or OpenSees.

Regards,

seems work only using Oofem solver, but not for Opensees. it will cumbersome with editing manually inside text editor. would it be much better supports? thank for interest

[parhyang]

so it can not be installed for both versions at the same machine? ok i will try, thank you.

[parhyang]

using Lite version 1.20 p5 64bit has no problems in dividing beam/plane element, these problem occurs with the latest version (1.60/64bit). in the beginning it’s work properly for several times, did know why then happen.

thank you, so it’s my pc windows installation problems. i checked again, no error but the model did not change as expected.

thank you for implementation DSS and Spooles in solver options, cut about half in real time consumed.

exiting in user time consumed when solved a plate problems with ~2000 nodes, it’s only required 17sec to solve with DSS compared to 477sec with standard solver.

but why not as in real time consumed?
