OpenSees Days Berkeley 13 OSN

OpenSees Navigator is a graphical user interface (GUI) for OpenSees that allows pre- and post-processing of OpenSees models. It was created by researchers at PEER, UBC, and PARI to replace text-based input with graphical input. The GUI facilitates defining geometry, materials, sections, elements, loads, and analysis cases. It also provides tools for visualizing results like deformed shapes, forces, and modes. Additionally, it includes design toolboxes for performance-based earthquake engineering, American Institute of Steel Construction design checks, and response spectra. OpenSees Navigator is distributed as MATLAB code and standalone executables for Windows and Mac to be accessible to researchers worldwide.

Introduction
MATLAB based graphical user interface (GUI).
Pre- and post-processing for OpenSees and
OpenFresco.
Design toolboxes: NSP, PBEE, AISC design
checks, AISC database, response spectra for
linear and bilinear systems and signal filtering.
Both MATLAB Pcode and self-executable
versions are available for Windows & Mac.
Being used by researchers from Asia, US,
Canada, South America and Europe.

Motivations
Replace the TCL text input with graphical input.
Most researchers use MATLAB to do the postprocessing, and MATLAB/Simulink is the typical
framework for implementing hybrid simulation
tests.
OpenSees Navigator will create the OpenSees
(analytical/hybrid) model and graphically display
the results before, during or after a test.
Provides many robust plotting algorithms and is
very effective in generating the plots for
engineering applications.
Flexible to use and requires no programming
skill.

Conversion: SAP2000 to OpenSees


Export SAP2000 model to .s2k file
Start OpenSees Navigator program
Select Open Model from File and
choose the earlier exported .s2k file
There is no one-to-one relationship
between SAP2000 and OpenSees objects,
therefore
Carefully check the converted model
Element loads and nodal constraints are
currently not converted yet
