The OpenSees Community

Thanks. I was aware of that script and had started to look at it. However, I noticed that the OpenSeesPy changelog included mention of a "Tcl to Python converter", and wondered it was somehow included in OpenSeesPy. Version 3.4.0.2 (7/20/2022) Update to commit abebbee. Update sectionForce ...

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but is it possible to import Tcl-format data into a Python Session, and if so, how?

I am using the OpenseesPy library with Python 3.9 on Windows 10.

The Mac OS is based on the Mach kernel, which is derived from BSD Unix and NextStep, and I would have thought that Tcl/Tk code would work well with Unix-related systems. At the command line, creating folders/directories is the same as MS-DOS: mkdir newfolder. Perhaps the main strange thing about the...

I probably won't have time to work on this, but what makes you think that the mac doesn't like subfolders?

What are the routines that add the menu items to the menubar?

I am waiting for IT at work to install Tcl/Tk, so instead I have tried to use BuildingTcl on my MacBookPro. This posting is mostly about documenting my experience in case anyone else wants to try it. I have modified the following scripts to make them point to the right folders, I have added the dire...

Silvia,

As a matter of interest, how are you extracting the data for your BuildingTcl program?

[quote="silvia"]why not just do it in Tcl/Tk?[/quote] Yes, that would certainly make sense. However, the question remains as to what tools to use with Tcl/Tk to query XML data? Would you use parsing (and other) tools such as those in TclXML package on SourceForge (SAX, DOM or XSLT)? Do you...

What are the ways that we can use the XML output? I can see that it is quite powerful, but I am not sure what tools are out there already. I would like to be able to graph the data, but also to be able to do text processing to generate output data that I can read into visualisation programs. I am us...

As a matter of interest, has anyone written an analysis method for OpenSees that calculates complex modes? Is anyone planning to?

I have checked back with Steve Hendry, and I understand that they are moving ahead. They are currently implementing appropriate data structures in GSA, and are working on XML export. Results import back into GSA is still a little way off.

Hi Silvia, Greetings from Hong Kong! Maybe I should have posted this in the developers part. A few years ago, Frank kindly wrote a recorder to export OpenSees results in a format that is directly readable by "GSA", which is our (Arup's) analysis software. GSA (which incidentally is free fo...

I am just returning to OpenSees after a little time away (three years!), and I was trying to run some old scripts. I find that the GSA Recorder does not work any longer. Any pointers on how to get it working again?
