Hexahedral 20 node element mesh

Post by aord » Sun Mar 29, 2020 8:02 pm

Hello,

I developed the masonry wall model shown in the image. I used hexahedral 20 node elements. The problem is that when I ask STKO to write the input files, 'elements.tcl' file is empty. Do you know what could be happening here?

Regards,

Agustín

Probably you did not assign the element property to the solid. Note that generating a mesh is not sufficent, you must create and assign an ElementProperty that basically tells STKO what OpenSees Element to use.
