By
Dhanaji S. Chavan, Assistant Professor, TKIET, Warananagar
Dhanaji Chavan 1
General steps to be followed…
i. Define ndm & ndf
ii. Define nodes
iii. Define element(s)
iv. Define material(s)
v. Define boundary conditions
vi. Define matrix transformation
vii. Apply load
viii. Define recorders
ix. Define analysis objects
x. Run the analysis
Dhanaji Chavan 2
Example 1- Cantilever Beam
• What is the deflection of the free end of a 3 m
cantilever beam subjected to a point load of 100 kN?
(E =2*1005 kN/m2 ,c/s:0.3mx0.3m)
How to do coding for this problem in OpenSees?????

wipe
model basic -ndm 2 -ndf 3
• wipe :
clears the previous coding present in OpenSees memory, if any
• model basic :
key word to start the definition of model
• ndm :
defines number of dimensions of the problem
• ndf :
defines the degrees of freedom at a node in a model
4Dhanaji S. Chavan
Tcl script for OpenSees starts now………
step 1: define ndm & ndf
• ndm: number of dimensions
we have to specify whether problem is 2-dimensional or
3-dimensional.
How to determine whether problem is 2-D or 3-D:
If to specify the geometry of the problem only two coordinates x
and y are required , it is 2-D problem
If to specify the geometry of the problem three coordinates x,y
and z are required , it is 3-D problem
In present case ndm is 2
5Dhanaji S. Chavan
How to determine ndm & ndf……….
• We have to specify degree of freedom at a node
What is degree of freedom?
 The number unknowns ,to be determined, at a node is called as
degree of freedom
 In present case: three unknowns are there at each node
i. translation in x direction
ii. Translation in y direction
iii. Rotation
 In present case dof is 3
6Dhanaji S. Chavan
………..
node 1 0 0
node 2 3 0
7Dhanaji S. Chavan
Step2: define nodes
Command to
define node
Node number
X coordinate of
node
Y coordinate of
node
In finite element method we discretize the
given domain(geometry) into certain number
of finite elements.
in our case 3 m long beam is the domain
in present case let’s use only one element for sake
of simplicity.
The ends of an element in finite element
method are called as nodes

• If we assume origin at node 1, the coordinates
for node 1 and 2 are as under:
 1(0,0) & 2(3,0)

• In our case boundary condition is : node 1 is
fixed i.e.
No translation in x direction
No translation in y direction
No rotation

• Which finite element to use to model the behavior of
beam? Why?
• OpenSees has wide range of elements in its library
• Is it fine if we use any element from it?
• Or we have to choose certain element only
• How to decide which element to use ?
…………..Needs some thinking…@ FEM…????????
13Dhanaji S. Chavan
………………
1-d element :
Used for geometries for which one of the dimensions
is quite larger than rest two.
E.g. beam : in case of beam its length is considerably larger
than its breadth and depth. i.e. x >>> y, z
In FEM such geometry is represented by just a line. When
the element is created by connecting two nodes, software
comes to know about only one out of 3 dimensions.
Remaining two dimensions i.e. cross sectional area must be
defined as additional input data & assigned to respective
element.
14Dhanaji S. Chavan
Three types of elements in finite
element method
2-d element:
Two dimensions are quite larger than third one
E.g. metal plate: length & width are considerably
larger than thickness. i.e. x, y >>> z
The third dimension i.e. thickness has to be
provided as additional input in coding by user &
assigned to respective element.
15Dhanaji S. Chavan
……..
3-d element:
All three dimensions are comparable
E.g. brick: x~y~z
No additional dimension to be defined. While
meshing itself all three dimensions are
included.
16Dhanaji S. Chavan
………
• In our case, we understood that we have to use
1-d element.
• Which 1-d element should we use?
Should we use spring element?
Or bar/truss element?
Or beam element
Think……………….?????????????
17Dhanaji S. Chavan
…………
In present case,
– Shear force &
– Bending moment
will be developed in the cantilever beam.
We have to choose 1-d finite element in such a way
that it will take both shear force & bending moment
18Dhanaji S. Chavan
………..
We can not use spring or bar element because
Spring element models axial load only
Bar elements model axial load and axial stress
However beam element takes axial, shear &
bending stresses. Hence….
19Dhanaji S. Chavan
………
Different materials behave differently when
subjected to load.
This behavior is represented by stress-strain
curves. e.g.
20Dhanaji S. Chavan
Step 5: define material
Elastic Spring


Mild Steel
F

……….
• In present case material has been defined
implicitly.(slide no:12)
• However in many other cases we have to
define material separately
Dhanaji Chavan 21
Step6:define geometric transformation

Role : performs a linear geometric transformation
of beam stiffness and resisting force from the
basic system to the global-coordinate system.

  • 34. ……….. Algorithm Newton uses the Newton-Raphson method to advance to the next time step. The tangent is updated at each iteration Recommendation: numerical methods for engineers by Chapra Dhanaji Chavan 34 command type
  • 35. ………. numberer RCM how degrees-of-freedom are numbered Dhanaji Chavan 35 command type
  • 36. ………… integrator LoadControl $dLambda1 <$Jd $minLambda $maxLambda>  $dLambda1: • – determine the predictive step for time t+dt – specify the tangent matrix at any iteration Dhanaji Chavan 36 type DOF Pseudo-time step Subsequent time increment
  • 37. ………….. integrator LoadControl $dLambda1 <$Jd $minLambda $maxLambda> $dLambda1: - first load-increment factor (pseudo-time step) - Usually same is followed further <$Jd: - must be integer -factor relating load increment at subsequent time steps minLambda, maxLambda: -decides minimum &maximum time increment bound - optional, default: $dLambda1 for both Dhanaji Chavan 37
