Adding new material to OpenSees

[Ehsan]

Hello everyone,
I am trying to add new material in opensees using windows. I was able to create .dll file. When I run an example it gives me this error: WARNING could not create uniaxialMaterial ……
Does anyone know what the problem is?

Thanks,

Hello,

Would you please explain more about your structure type.. have you complete all procedure before run?  If you using OSN by MATLAB, then I can help you..

Hi Salman. I follow the same procedure on the video published by Frank McKenna for adding new material. When I run the example, I see the following error:

WARNING could not create uniaxialMaterial MetalRubber

while executing
“uniaxialMaterial MetalRubber 1 $Pmr $Pw $e $Db $Dw $a $b $zeta $lambda # build rubber metal material”
(file “MetalRubber_example.tcl” line 56)

I have doubled checked every thing. The run stops when it comes to reading .dll file and creating new material. I have also created the .dll file for the ElasticPP material example provided in the tutorial bu still get the same error. I think it may have something to do with the updated version of OpenSees. Any idea?
