Hybrid simulation: OpenSees

OpenSees, a software framework for developing applications to simulate the performance of structural and geotechnical systems subjected to earthquakes.
The goal of the OpenSees development is to improve the modeling and computational simulation in earthquake engineering through open-source development.
OpenSees is under continual development, so users and developers should expect changes and updates on a regular basis. In this sense, all users are developers so it is important to register. More information on Open Source is available.
The development and application of OpenSees is sponsored by the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center through the National Science Foundation engineering and education centers program.
OpenSees has been selected as the simulation component for the George E. Brown, Jr. Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulation and is being sponsored by NEEScomm . NEEScomm provides support for the ongoing maintenace of OpenSees and support to integrate OpenSees with the IT and EOT resources that NEEScomm makes available to the earthquake engineering community.
