Hello,

just got a short question:

if I want to add new commands to OpenSees, what to do?

I have to write the *.h and the *.cpp data, but where to put it, so
OpenSees can open it and work with it?

Sorry for this questions, but i'm just a statical engineer and not an
informatic.

Thanks

Cheers, Daniel

Well depends on what you want to do. like are we talking about creating an element, material and so on.. These things I beleive are already explained in details in the manual maintained by Silvia so please check them out.

I was thinking about implementing a new command. We want to try to implement fire load in opensees.

Also there it doesn't say where to put the *.h and the *.cpp data, so OpenSees can open it and work with it.
