2D Model Display

Post by nbazaraa » Sat Jun 11, 2016 11:28 pm

Dear Frank,
Would you please give me some hints on how to display nodal points or model as a whole in 2D/plane?
I have a bit complicated shape and I want check the layout of the nodes?

Thank you for your continuous help...

try downloading one of these:

Win32: http://opensees.berkeley.edu/OpenSees/c ... -alpha.zip
Win64: http://opensees.berkeley.edu/OpenSees/c ... -alpha.zip

start the exe. in left hand window (the interpreter) cd to dierctory contaiining script and then source script. in "View" pull-down menu select to view the Renderer. you can toggle on and off the node and ele tags by clicking on the little square windows at top left of renderer window that pops up.

Dear fmk,
Is it available for Linux as well? If not yet, when should we expect it?

i have it for mac, but it currently rquires you install 5GB or so of software .. i need to rebuild that software to build a static executable that brings the size down to 20MB.

as for LINUX, no .. i do not release Linux binaries as my linux developers prefer to build themselves .. i will make the code available through GitHub hopefully by Aug 1 and you will be able to build it yourself.

Hi fmk,
I'm new with OpenSees software, I'd like to ask you about a problem with "recorder display" command. The reference file that I tried to run is "EigenAnal_twoStoreyShearFrame.tcl" available in the "Basic Examples Manual" section on the OpenSees website.
I tried to run the analysis on both Windows (8.1) and Mac OS X (El Capitan) and I saw that in Win the two windows of the modes of shape (recorder display command) appear, instead when I run the analysis on OS X these don't appear.
Do I need to write something different in the code or there is something else to do? Do you already know this problem?

Thank you
Fabrizio

no the mac is the issue .. i will release new software soon to display the models that will run on the mac .. i have had problems since 10.8 on the mac when Apple removed Carbon and only provided the Cocoa interface for the graphics.

Hi,
Am beginner to Opensees. May be it is a silly question.
In OpenSeesIDE, when the pushover analysis is performed, is it possible to see the hinges formation location also?

I also have the same problem with MacOS (Catalina). Were you able to solve the problem.

You could use OpenSeesPy visualization library to interactively view your Tcl models and output. Here is an example.
