last version of OpenSees

[ssami]

Hi everyone,

I am using the OpenSees version 2.4.0, but I want to use the newest version, how can I replace the current version with the new one, such that that works well with tcl? Is it also needed to download a new version of Tcl which is consistent with the last version of OpenSees? I downloaded the last version and its executive file replaced with the current one, but it did not work. I would be grateful, if anyone could help me.

Hi,

Inside the .zip file for the latest version, there are 2 documents:

-"lib" (which contains tcl8.6 folder)
-"bin" (which contains the OpenSees.exe and a .dll file)

What you need to do is to copy the contents of the "bin" folder (OpenSees.exe and the .dll file) to the directory where your model .tcl files are located, just as we did in OpenSees 2.4.0. Then, you can copy the "lib" folder to a higher directory in its entirety, then come back to your model directory, and run your model. In my case, I went up 1 level in the directory tree and copied my "lib" folder there.

Following screenshots illustrate what I describe here:


Figure 1: "lib" folder is in the directory that is 1 level higher than my model .tcl files.


Figure 2: OpenSees.exe and the .dll file is in the same directory as my model files.

Best,
Cem.
