Dear Seismosoft

While i try to run the seismostruct appear a error that say me:

"The tolerance for the convergence checks of the force-based plastic-hinge element type should be a positive number"

I don't understand this error, what is my problem with my analysis?

Thank's

I think you should check setting menu > convergance criteria and put a positive number in related box,
actullay this software has many bugs so try another softwares!
even they do not reply you unitl months!

Dear mortezarazi,

Thank you for answering to the query of another user; this is exactly what we would like to see happening more in this Forum, which should not be simply a place where Seismosoft answers to users, but rather a place where users help each other.

Since we develop and supply this software for free, we obviously cannot provide the type of technical support that commercial enterprises do, for obvious reasons of lack resources. We appreciate that this may be frustrating at times, but the reality is that we earn our living doing other jobs.

We nonetheless believe that, notwithstanding the above, we still manage to provide many researchers, students, engineers, analysts, etc, with a software that is of use to them. In any case, you are right, we should soon commercialise the software and/or its technical support, so as to provide the paid response that users like your good self would like to receive.
