Examples
- The OpenSees Basic Examples Manual contains examples for new users. It contains very simple examples on how to perform analysis of truss, frame and continuum models. It is a resource intended for new users of OpenSees. It only touches on the benefits that programming using the tcl language can provide.
- The OpenSees Advanced Examples Manual contains examples on how to create models and perform simulations on those models.
- It has examples ranging from simple single element linear models to complex 3D nonlinear fiber models.
- These examples are intended only to show the usage of the commands available in OpenSees. They are not necessarily examples showing the best of practice.
- New users to OpenSees are encouraged to use the Basic Examples Manual as this manual can be quite intimidating for new users.
- The OpenSees Sensitivity Analysis contains commands and application examples on how to perform response sensitivity analysis.
- These examples are intended only to show the usage of the commands available in OpenSees. They are not necessarily examples showing the best of practice.
