The Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSEES) is an open-source software framework for simulating the seismic response of structural and geotechnical systems. It has been developed as the computational platform for research in performance-based earthquake engineering at the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center. OpenSEES has advanced capabilities for modeling and analyzing the nonlinear response of systems using a wide range of material models, elements, and solution algorithms. (for more info visit OpenSees website).

Scientific ToolKit for Opensees (STKO) is a powerful pre and post processor and cutting-edge data visualization tool for Opensees. By using STKO a user can create a Tool Command Language (TCL) input file for Opensees and an output file readable by its graphic interface. The user can customize and manipulate with a Python-based scripting interface the model input and output to create customized engineering demand parameters and output data.

The event will be full of workshops and discussion organized by Eurasian OpenSEES (EOS), a trans-continental non-profit association of engineers and academics who encourage and promote the principles of structural engineering according to the theories and techniques developed within the framework of international scientific research.
