how to control your opensees options from crimson

Post by Andre Tahmasebian »

As a new user, I wish to control everything from crimson editor instead of running OpenSEES from its directory all the time. I wonder how can I setting this and run OpenSEES from crimson

interesting, i don't know how, but play around.
the think is that you can run in the wish shell, but you want to run opensees.

Silvia, as far as I understand there are configuration items in tools menu but I do not know how to set those. That will help user to run OpenSees directly from Crimson. Maybe you can help me in this case.

Running OpenSEES

Post by Andre Tahmasebian »

I do not know why I have a problem running OpenSEES. As far as I have been told it is possible to run it from Crimson. There is configuration in tools menu but it seems it does not work on my system, I do not know why. (by setting path file, path directory...). In general I can not run the open sees right now. That is maybe I do not use opensees file from its right folder. Would you please let me know what is the most common methods of running the program after installing tcl and opensees. I tried with the instruction, maybe it is a problem with my setting! I am looking forward to hearing from someone.

It seems my problem is running OpenSEES now and not running crismson. Just please tell me how should I arrange file and folders to run OpenSEES. I assume I made mistake somewhere in my folders saving process.

i really don't know what kind of problem you are having, there are many possibilities.
opensees is a simple executable, you double-click on it or put it in your windows path.
you may have installed tcl wrong, you might as well re-install it and follow the directions given in the download page.
