OpenSees
OpenSees (the Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation) is a proprietary object-
oriented, software framework created at the National Science Foundation-sponsored Pacific
Earthquake Engineering (PEER ) Center. It allows users to create finite element applications for
simulating the response of structural and geotechnical systems subjected to earthquakes. This
framework was developed by Frank McKenna and Gregory L. Fenves with significant
contributions from Michael H. Scott, Terje Haukaas, Armen Der Kiureghian, Remo M. de Souza,
Filip C. Filippou, Silvia Mazzoni, and Boris Jeremic. OpenSees is primarily written in C++ and uses
several Fortran numerical libraries for linear equation solving.

Licensing

The license permits use, reproduction, modification, and distribution by educational, research,
and non-profit entities for noncommercial purposes only. Use, reproduction and modification by
other entities is allowed for internal purposes only. The UC Regents hold the copyright for
OpenSees. [1]

Usage

Users of OpenSees create applications by writing scripts in the Tcl programming language. The
TclModelBuilder class in the OpenSees framework extends an instance of the Tcl interpreter with
commands for finite element model building and analysis.

OpenSees developers access the source code using Apache Subversion. Although anyone may
check-out the source code anonymously, only a handful of individuals have check-in access.

Acronym

The proper acronym capitalization for the "Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation"
is OpenSees, as opposed to OpenSEES. This reflects the same unconventional capitalization of

Tcl.

History

Prior to taking on the name "OpenSees," the framework was simply called "G3" in reference to
the name of the PEER research group tasked with simulation development. The doctoral thesis
of Frank McKenna on parallel object-oriented structural analysis formed the basis for "G3."
