Brainery Bytes -- Simulation Basics
Here is a new idea!!
In this space we will publish brief technical content via interactive WebMedia and WebApps on the user-friendly and versatile Jupyter Notebooks.
​
Jupyter Notebooks are a great medium for interactive development and demonstration.
​
They are grouped into the following categories:
1. WebApps -- User friendly User Intefaces used to perform a specific task
2. WebDemos -- Documented scripts for proof/explanation of concepts
3. WebSamples -- Examples files to help you get started with fundamentals
4. OpenSeesScript -- Get started or get going with OpenSees right here!

Everyone is welcome to submit content! Please contact me.

Learning about advanced options in OpenSees!
​
The objective of this workbook is to provide a better understanding of the orientation of the local axes of the zeroLength elements in OpenSees and how to use the -orient option. Two examples are provided: one in 2D and one in 3D
