I'm wondering if anyone can describe the differences between the ASDShell elements and that used in SAP2000.

I've done some testing to try and determine the cause of the difference in results between that given by SAP2000. As far as I can tell the membrane behaviour is an exact match to that in ...

Hmm those numbers are better than what I achieve. I was comparing to ETABS and noticed ETABS doesn't give this sort of error.

The reason for using FullGenLapack is 1 it's a small model and 2 I was testing both this case and the case in which the top nodes are constrained with a rigid diaphragm ...

I've noticed that when a model has the same x and y stiffness the modal properties seem to produce a small error. In this example it is less exaggerated, but I have been able to achieve as much as 120% cumulative mass participation in the X.

I'm curious as to what is the cause of this and if it is ...

Perfect, thanks

Thanks! Sorry I'm late to reply, I've been busy on other stuff since I first tried this and now am going to look back into switching over to the mpco recorder. I'll learn more once I use it, but maybe you'll have the answer for me. I'm curious how the stress/strains of fibres are recorded. If I ...

I've attached a screen shot of the error I am getting and also an example file. Note that if the mpco recorder is removed and the node recorder used instead it runs fine (I couldn't seem to attach a text file).

Hi, I am trying to use the mpco recorder for a moment curvature fibre section analysis. I am not using this via stko but rather just TCL files. I have had good success with the recorder for models but I'm struggling with how to use it for moment curvature analysis. Unfortunately the documentation on ...

@Clarabella what's the status on importing TCL files? Or if supported how can I import a TCL file?
