PEER and NEESinc will host OpenSees Days 2009 at the University of California, Berkeley Richmond Field Station (RFS ) in Richmond, CA in August 2009.
This year we are introducing BuildingTcl, a new OpenSees-driven Script&Graphics User Interface for the numerical simulation of building frames.
Students, researchers, and practitioners are welcome to attend any ofthedays. Registration is free, lunch is provided, but space is limited to the first 100 applicants, andregistration closes August 21, 2009.
August 27th: OpenSees User Workshop
UC Berkeley Richmond Field Station
The annual one-day workshop on how to use OpenSees will be more hands-on this year. This workshop isintended for beginning and intermediate users. This workshop willintroduce users to the tcl scripting language, and basic modeling andanalysis techniques using OpenSees. View agenda.
August 28: OpenSees Developer Workshop
UC Berkeley Richmond Field Station
A one-day workshop with presentations by current OpenSees developers on how to incorporate objects (material and element) into OpenSees. Users and developers at all levels are encouraged to attend the workshop. View agenda.

11:00 – 11:30 Uniaxial material interface
11:30 – 12:30 Implementation exercise of a uniaxial material
Participants will develop new material, add material into OpenSees and test it using a tk script
12:30 – 1:00 WORKING LUNCH
1:00 – 1:30 Review of Implementation exercise for uniaxial material
1:30 – 2:00 Domain classes & how they interact
2:00 – 2:30 Element interface
2:30 – 3:00 Analysis classes & how they interact.
Trace through what happens when ‘analyze’ is invoked in the interpreter. When element methods, ‘update,’ ‘commit,’ ‘getTangent,’ and ‘getResistingForce’ are invoked
3:00 – 3:15 Break
3:15 – 4:00 Implementation of a new element – set up exercise as homework
Participants will develop new element and add element into OpenSees
The Workshops will be held at the UC Berkeley Field Station, an off-campus facility. For driving direction, please map:
1301 South 46th Street, Richmond, CA.
Please purchase a 50-cent parking permit to be displayed on your dashboard for each day. If the ticket dispenser is broken, don't worry about the permit.
First enter the gate, when the road takes a turn to the left, go straight and park in the parking lot at the end of the building that is on the right hand side.
There are no hotels in the proximity of the richmond field station.
I you rent a car, I recommend the following, as it is the closest:
otherwise, you can stay near the Berkeley campus and catch the RFS shuttle that leaves the Hearst Mining Circle.
