Means and Ends

Community 1 Minute

OpenSees is often a means to an end, or an instrument, with the end being an advanced degree. There is nothing wrong with that!

But OpenSees can also be an end in itself. You can learn to automate workflows, to think algorithmically, and to manage data structures–all in the context of earthquake engineering. That end holds a lot of intrinsic value.

I have been involved in the development, maintenance, and growth of OpenSees since its early days. I am interested in learning Python and improving my academic writing.
