Hi,

I am the beginner of Opensees based STKO.

I am trying to practice the soil-pile interaction modeling in the advanced e learning courses (https://asdea.eu/software/advanced-e-le ... urses/#022) using the documents provided by Dr.Massimo.

I found that although material.stress was set to be recorded in the SKTO pre-process, the stress is failed to be shown by the post processor. I cannot find it in surface color map or fiber color map (opensees 3.7.0). I use another compter to test with different Opensees version (3.4.0). The same thing happened.

I am wondering if it is because the incompatible issue between the old version documents and the new version of STKO/opensses? I atttach .scd file and corresponding mcpo file for you to check

Best regards,

Jiangtao

It's because some elements in OpenSees (those with only 1 gauss point, like the SSPBrick you are using) do not follow the rules and do not accept the material keyword before a gauss point result (like material.strain or material.stress).

For these few element, you need to use custom element results, like strain and stress, omitting the material. in front of them

Many thanks for your response.

You're welcome
