Welcome to the May 2026 edition of OpenSees Digital Digest, a monthly summary of content published at OpenSees Digital.
The unofficial theme for this month has been verification, ranging from fundamental benchmark problems to workflows that automate verification across larger problem sets.
- Insert Assertion Here – Demonstrates how assertions can be applied to more than computed analysis outputs.
- Two EIs, One Axis – Explores whether a single element can accommodate different flexural stiffnesses based on the loading condition.
- Minimal DDM Verification Example – Verifies the direct differentiation method against closed-form derivatives of cantilever deflection.
- A Minimal GitHub Actions Workflow for OpenSees – Shows how GitHub Actions can support reproducible OpenSees analysis workflows.
Thanks for reading, and see you next month!
