Not All at Once

I've been working on a project where we use OpenSees to analyze structural models for several load cases. We only care if the models can support the full load, not so much how they get to the full load. We apply all the load in one step with load control and Newton-Raphson. If that succeeds, … Continue reading Not All at Once →

A Very Stable Challenge

With linear structural analysis, a number is a number. However, reality starts to creep in when physics dictates that you need to account for nonlinear effects. The three member structure shown below is a perfect example--Example1.1.tcl, one of the most OG OpenSees examples. Have you ever paid attention to the member sizes though? If so, … Continue reading A Very Stable Challenge →
