Seismic Simulation: Advances with OpenSees Gregory L. Fenves University of California, Berkeley PEER Annual Meeting January 18, 2002
Simulation in PBEE Performance Based Engineering depends on evaluation seismic demands (EDP) and damage (DM). Rational, validated models of behavior of structural and geotechnical materials, components and systems are needed for simulating performance. Simulation applications: Assessment Design using parameterized models Reliability-based design Improved software needed for PBEE methodologies. OpenSees is PEER’s software framework for seismic simulation to support these applications.
Status of OpenSees All information available on website at opensees.berkeley.edu Documentation Source code browser Downloads (source code, Win32 exe) Version 1.2 is the current release Development versions ahead of release, but most developments available in CVS (source code versioning system) for checkout.
OpenSees in 2001 Nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of 3D structural and soil-foundation systems. Increase robustness and performance. Begin to support simulation needs for testbeds. Continue as research platform for modeling of non-ductile components, particularly degrading shear behavior. Work on documentation and user/developer workshops.
