hi
i have a 6 story ,2d RC moment frame in opensees. i want to know the order of formation,dose any one have a code in TCL for this purpose?
since that depends on he stiffness of beams, columns, it's good to use push-over analysis by SAP2000
The sequence of plastic hinge formation could be seen in pushover analysis with IDARC 2D software. It is very good for 2D frames..
Hi Sahar
As Mohammad and Isa implied, first you need to clarify the type of nonlinear analysis you are going to perform, is it static (Pushover) or is it dynamic (Time History)? In case of pushover, your task would be much easier because you won't need to introduce hysteretic behavior of material.
But anyway, about your question for a TCL code, based my own experience you can't get such outputs only using TCL (or at least it will be very hard). So I suggest you to use a code in MATLAB which post-processes the results of OpenSess. That would really make your work easier.
A more precise answer to your question needs some more details about your model.
Good Luck
Hi Sahar,
As Behnam mentioned in response, you can use Matlab for post-processing of the OpenSEES outputs to seen the order of plastic hing formation easily and graphically.
From where can i get opensess software? Could u plz share the link to access the software.
