The next seminar in the web-based Discovering OpenSees: Surfing the waves of OpenSees learning series will occur on November 16 & 17. The session will be broadcast twice at times that will allow users in all time zones around the world to participate.
This session is titled "OpenSees & Output" and will occur on on November 16 at 9:00 AM Pacific Time & on November 17 at 4:30 pm Pacific Time. The 1-hour session will discuss various ways to get output from OpenSees analysis and demonstrate the primary use of each method. In addition, OpenSees commands for creating graphical images of OpenSees models are going to be demonstrated. It will cover:
- – Introduction to Output options
- – OpenSees commands for creating the output: recorder, print, recorder display, commands that return values (e.g., nodeDisp) – demonstrated by examples
- – Tcl "puts" command for creating the output – demonstrated by example
- – Summary and conclusions
- – Q&A with web participants

More information about this seminar topic
After an OpenSees analysis there is no output unless it is requested. There are several ways of getting output from OpenSees analysis. OpenSees commands along with Tcl commands can be combined to create different types of outputs. In this web-based seminar, the various ways of creating output in OpenSees will be discussed and the primary use of each method will be demonstrated. In addition, OpenSees commands for creating graphical images of OpenSees models are going to be demonstrated. With proper use of the output options, users will find that their speed will be enhanced when checking their model's accuracy and processing data of interest after an analysis.
