I am doing my MSc thesis on base isolation of structures with variable curvature friction pendulum systems. I have downloaded the benchmark problem for base isolated buildings and everything is fine. However, the file which contains the nonlinear analysis algorithm of the building is in DLL format and I cannot open and edit it for my new bearing type.
My Matlab version is R2013b. I also tried some lower versions, but that did not work.
Please let me know how I can solve this problem. I really appreciate your assistance.
Hi
Thanks for the article. I have studied that and I have all those files. The problem is that the main file containing the algorithm can not be edited since it is in DLL format. I want to know how can I edit that to be able to put the information of my own seismic bearing.
Thanks

DLL file cant be modified. You need to put your own data in the Simulink's one. DLL file is the engin of the progrom.
Dear Ali Akbar,
Can you share the download link of this benchmark problem?
Thank you.
