In this chapter, four demonstration examples are used to illustrate and validate the DDM-based response sensitivity analysis components implemented in OpenSees. The results presented here have been obtained by using a CVS version of the official OpenSees (after version 2.1.0). The beta version is available at www.lsu.edu/...(date).

• Example 1: 2D soil column subjected to earthquake base excitation
• Example 2: 3D soil block subjected to static push over
• Example 3: 2D RC frame subjected to earthquake base excitation
• Example 4: 3-D RC frame subjected to earthquake base excitation
