opensees beginner

Post by saikiran »

Hi,I am a Graduate student and I really want to learn OPEN SEES software.I tried to learn using the videos in you-tube but they were not really enough tutorials for beginners to learn how to use open sees.So I really appreciate if any can help me learn open sees by any means.

While I haven't personally been through the following links in much detail, I would expect they would be good primers to get started:
http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... ng_Started
http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... les_Manual

OpenSees is such a versatile tool that it really isn't feasible to explain all of it in a single forum post. I would begin slowly at first and work your way up. Start with a simple, elastic frame and verify it against other programs. Once you understand the basics of how tcl scripts are implemented, you can modify it to your liking.

Good luck!
