Welcome to the OpenSeesWiki
OpenSees Wiki is a Wiki creation. The goal is simple: provide information about OpenSees. Please explore the site and see what a great resource OpenSees can be.
OpenSees
OpenSees', the Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation, is an object-oriented, open source software framework created at the NSF-sponsored Pacific Earthquake Engineering (PEER) Center. It allows users to create finite element applications for simulating the response of structural and geotechnical systems subjected to earthquakes and oher hazards. OpenSees is primarily written in C++ and uses several Fortran numerical libraries for linear equation solving.
The goal of the OpenSees development is to improve the modeling and computational simulation in earthquake engineering through:
- new open-source code development
- the provision of examples
- a community monitored message-board.
OpenSees User Tools
Before you begin and for when you get stuck there is always the documentation. For new users to OpenSees, have a look at the primers to get yourselves more familiar with the overall design.
Download
Download a precompiled binary from the latest build.
Examples
Here are some simple and some not-so-simple examples to get you started.
Tools
Download accessory programs which are available for OpenSees.
Message board
To talk to other users who may be able to assist you with problems leave a message on our users message board. We encourage all users to visit the message board often to see what others are working on and to assist others who may be having problems.
Bugs
Should any bugs get passed our strict testing procedures!, we would encourage anybody who finds one to report it following the procedures outlined for Bugs.
