Welcome to the August 2026 edition of OpenSees Digital Digest, a monthly summary of content published at OpenSees Digital.
I’ve been on the road a bit this month, but squeaked out one post:
- Break Your Concentration – Shows how to model concentrated plasticity in OpenSees without using zero length elements.
I also started to solve NAFEMS benchmark problems in OpenSees.
- FV73 Cantilevered Thin Square Plate – Verifies the natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained from the four-noded shell elements implemented in OpenSees.
- FV2 Pin-Ended Double Cross – Verifies the natural frequencies and mode shapes for the elastic beam elements in OpenSees.
OpenSees Digital Rewind
From August 2021, five years ago this month.
- Making Sense Out of Concrete02 – Describes reasonable default values for the three extra parameters that separate Concrete02 from Concrete01.
