In version 2024.d of CYPE 3D, non-linear analysis has been implemented so that elements with non-linear behaviour can be considered. One such element is a bar that works only in tension. This analysis is carried out by means of the "OpenSees analysis engine".
The non-linear analysis of bars working only in tension is part of the new CYPE 3D module "Bars only in tension". In order to be able to use this module, the program license must include the permission required to use it as well as the permission to use the "OpenSees analysis engine".
In CYPE 3D's new feature “Non-linear analysis to consider "Bars only in tension" and "Uplift at supports" (new modules)” more information on non-linear analysis, on this module and on another new CYPE 3D module, which also performs non-linear analysis for supports with uplifts, can be found.
