OpenSees in Notepad++

Post by ambaker » Fri May 24, 2019 8:27 am

Hello all,

Editing Tcl files for OpenSees is not well supported by standard text editors, and the text editors that do support it are not robust (such as Cypress Editor).

So, I combined the functionality of Notepad++ with the OpenSees language support of Cypress Editor.
The code is located at https://github.com/ambaker1/OpenSeesNotepadPlusPlus/

In the repository, you will find a user-defined language file for OpenSees/Tcl, instructions on how to run OpenSees directly from Notepad++, instructions on how to create a "function definition" that generates a side-bar list of all defined variables, and an autocomplete file for the OpenSees language.

Directions for installation are in the Readme file on the repository.

If you have any questions, please email me at ambaker1@mtu.edu.
