    OpenSees Transformation Command: Element Local Axes and Beam Distributed Loads

    I took this short video from a workshop I gave on OpenSees. In this video I discuss what you need to consider in defining your element local axes when you need to define element distributed loads, which are defined in the local-axis system.

    BUILD AND ANALYZE YOUR FIRST OPENSEES MODEL In Tcl&Python! Ex1a in Examples Manual (duplicate)

    This video is a duplicate of another one by the same title. Since I cannot remove it because i have posted the link publicly. This is one of the first examples I developed for the OpenSees Wiki Examples Manual. In this example I walk you through the key steps in building an OpenSees model and running an both a static and a dynamic EQ analysis. This example is both in OpenSees Tcl and OpenSeesPy Python. Please visit my web site to download the examples files and to support this project. https://www.silviasbrainery.com/

    BraineryByte: OpenSees zeroLength Elements User-Defined Orientation

    This Brainery Byte was developed by Bijan Sayyafzadeh, member of the OpenSees Cafe @ Silvia's Brainery, with minor editorial contributions by me. The objective of the 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 You may access the Brainery Byte Jupyter Notebook from my web site: https://www.silviasbrainery.com/brainerybytes

    Optimizing Parametric Analyses via Parallelization in OpenSees

    In this video I show you an efficient way to run OpenSees analyses simultaneously (in parallel) in Windows in a simple and clean manner, without having to download or install any extra programs or libraries. p.s. you can follow the same process for python.

    Brainery Byte: Drawing Integration-Point Curvatures in OpenSeesPy

    Postprocessing your OpenSees results is so easy when using the interactive features of OpenSeesPy and the Matplotlib. This video gives you line-by-line instructions on how to plot Integration-Point curvatures on your OpenSees Model. Along the way you learn how to draw your models and the deflected shape.

    OpenSees Cafe @ Silvia's Brainery: The Convergence Script

    In the early 2000s Frank and I developed a simple convergence script and included it in the OpenSees Examples Manual. It's great to see OpenSees users use this script. In today's OpenSees Cafe I described the details of this script and its overall process. Join our lively live weekly meetings: https://courses.silviasbrainery.com/courses/LiveOpenSeesCafeWeekly
