Adding Elements to OpenSees Problemtype

[akam553]

Hi,

I want to know, how can I add some OpenSees element types to OpenSees problem type.

Kind regards,
Arman

Do you mean the gidopensees problemtype, developed at the University of Thessaloniki?
http://gidopensees.rclab.civil.auth.gr
(current version 2.2.5)

I am not user of OpenSees, what is the element that you want to add?
I think that you must contact its developers if do you want to enhance it with some new feature.

In general, you can learn about how to create a GiD problemtype in the 'GiD user manual' (Help->Tutorials of GiD menu), 'Defining a problemtype' chapter, and read also the 'GiD customization manual'

This is mainly done in OpenSees.mat file, however, you have to add the new material name to various files of the interface (.bas). If you just do a simple search, it will be obvious where to.

or just tell us which element you wish for, so we can put it in the list for the next release...
