Compiling OpenSees

OpenSees 1 Minute

In the early days of G3/OpenSees, I was in change of compiling the Windows version using Visual C++, part of Visual Studio. Frank maintained the Linux version.

Pretty soon after arriving in Eastchester, I switched to compiling OpenSees on Linux and periodically compiled in Visual Studio–only when I absolutely had to do so.

Visual Studio has a free Community Edition now, so I decided to give it another shot. Most things are the same (the GitHub integration is pretty nice) and I managed to compile OpenSees.exe again. I also compiled opensees.pyd, the OpenSees Python module that goes into the openseespy pip package.

In Linux, all you have to do is type make python in the OpenSees/ root directory. This will create opensees.so in the OpenSees/SRC/interpreter directory.

I definitely attempt to stay positive all the time. I have been involved in the development, maintenance, and growth of OpenSees since its early days. Recently, I've taken an interest in learning Python and improving my academic writing.
