BuildingTclViewer is a Tcl/Tk widget (program) that provides a graphical user interface to view the BuildingTcl database, run the numerical simulations using OpenSees interactively, and view the results interactively.

Objectives of BuildingTcl & BuildingTclViewer

The Objectives of BuildingTcl and its viewer are as follows:

  • Generate numerical-simulation input in a manner consistent with architectural/structural drawings
  • Create a database of all structure and simulation data
  • The implementation of OpenSees to do the analysis is natural here, but not restrictive
  • Be able to run on a number of platforms, just as OpenSees can


Tcl/Tk:

  • Tcl is the scripting language used by OpenSees.exe. It runs on Windows, Unix and Macintosh platforms.
  • Tk is the graphical user interface toolkit associated with Tcl.
  • Tcl/Tk Commands
