Goals
This conference intends to give a brief overview on the latest developments made on the OpenSEES framework as well as to present some research and practical outcomes in which OpenSEES plays an important role.
Conference topics will cover research and practical experiences with OpeeSees in the field of structural and geotechnical engineering, development of new elements and materials, development of pre and post processors for OpenSees.

OpenSees - The Open System For Earthquake Engineering Simulation
The Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees) is a software framework for simulating the seismic response of structural and geotechnical systems. OpenSees has been developed as the computational platform for research in performance-based earthquake engineering at the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center.
- Capabilities
OpenSees providing beam-column elements and continuum elements for structural and geotechnical models. A wide range of uniaxial materials and section models are available for beam-columns.
Nonlinear analysis requires a wide range of algorithms and solution methods. OpenSees provides nonlinear static and dynamic methods, equation solvers, and methods for handling constraints.
