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

  • 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


  • High-level scripting tool
  • Generate building-model data

  • Generate analysis-model data
  • Generate loading and load-combination data
  • Create OpenSees model of building
  • Perform OpenSees numerical simulations
  • Post-Process OpenSees recorder output into formatted data
  • Generate OpenSees input files

  • Graphical User Interface (GUI) for BuildingTcl
  • Generate and/or visualize ALL BuildingTcl input graphically
  • Save ALL input into BuildingTcl script
  • Perform numerical simulations using OpenSees interactively
  • Visualize OpenSees simulation real-time
  • Pause and/or stop OpenSees analysis real-time
  • Visualize simulation results interactively
  • Export simulation results


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
