Get Started In STKO with OpenSees

Are you ready to Get Started?

From 0 to nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of 3D frame structures in just a few months with OpenSees and STKO with this STKO OpenSees tutorial series.

The purpose of this series is to introduce OpenSees and STKO from the very basics. The course is oriented towards teaching OpenSees using STKO to visualize the processes, functioning, and outputs of OpenSees. The course is a complete series of recorded webinars that set students and potential users up for success. By the end of the 20 classes, attendees will have received an overview on 3D frame structure modeling in both reinforced concrete and masonry, and performed linear, nonlinear, static, and dynamic analyses on the models.

Our Webinars

The webinars contain two parts: a presentation session of 30 mins and a Q/A session. The courses are divided into three types of webinars: introductions, theoretical webinars, and modeling courses. The theoretical sections discuss the theoretical background necessary to build the models and run the analyses presented in the modeling courses.
