the .exe are in the OpenSees/Win32/bin directory. as to the path, you either start the .exe where it is and cd to the scripts directory, copy the .exe to the scripts directory, or if you are a real windows user set up your PATH variable so you can run opensees from the cmd prompt by just typing opensees and not haveing to cs to where the exe lie.

thanks fmk for reply ..

but i want to run the program through visual studio not from exe file . i want to wach the program in step by step mode "debug mode"

the main idea is trying to make the program run with finite element anysis tell reach some point failure point and begin to run with applied element anaylsis method tell reach the failure and collapse..

so i do need to add some objects that translate from FEM to AEM

that is all i want to try...

thanks in advance fmk and waiting your reply

the .exe are in the directory OpenSees/Win32/bin .. you use them like it is explained in the manual.

right click on opensees project in solution explorer and then set as startup project.

press f5 and opensees.exe from bin\.. will start
