Hello,
I want to assign zero-Lenght elements using GID interface for Opensees. Since the zero-length elements should be assigned between two nodes with the same coordinates, I have problem with slection of nodes one by one to define different restrains for each one.
Dose anyone have the experince of defining zero-length elemnts using GID interface for Opensees?
Thanks in advance for your attention.
Dear Mr.Samad,
What software are you using for the simulation..use zero thickness interface element (as you mention as zero length element). two different nodes to be connected mainly to connect two disimilar material..Once, identify the material for the node then it is easy to assign properties..also the interface elements are common to both the nodes and it is having two dof i.e. one normal and shear displacement..also, you need to assign the material properties of normal and shear stiffness for the interface..i recommend you to read any finite element based text book..all the best..
I think his problem in defining the restrains for each one not the element itself.
Try to select each node by it's numbering.

Exactly, I just have problem for separate selection of two nodes with the same coordinates to define different restrains for each one and then assigning zero length element between them.
I know it can be done by writing code directly for OpenSees, but I mean doing that using GID OpenSees interface.
You may edit the script file (.tcl) that generate in opensees folder
