Instead, it's for everyone out there who wants to run a large model locally without encountering stubborn errors or jumping through hoops to use OpenSeesMP. So, I have a small request--even … Continue reading An OpenSeesSPecial Request

Every Ending Is a New Beginning
Simulation of structural response to sequential hazards, e.g., fire following earthquake or tsunami following earthquake, is something OpenSees can handle. But suppose you want to look at different tsunami scenarios after a single earthquake. Tsunami loading occurs over a few seconds where the preceding earthquake lasted a minute or two. Do you want to repeat … Continue reading Every Ending Is a New Beginning

Rightfully so. But there are a couple UniaxialMaterial methods, and a code addition elsewhere, that are critically important when using the database command to save/restore your model or … Continue reading Don’t Forget to Take a Selfie
