3. References¶

If you want to understand the design behind OpenSees you can look at the following:

  1. For the overall framework have a look at: McKenna, F. “Object-oriented finite element programming: Frameworks for analysis, algorithms and parallel computing.” PhD Dissertation, UC Berkeley, 1999

  1. To understand the use of object composition in an OpenSees analysis: McKenna, F., Scott, M.H., and Fenves, G.L. “Nonlinear finite element analysis software architecture using object composition.” Journal of Computing in Civil Engineering, 24(1):95-107, January 2010..

  1. To understand the beam-column elements: Scott, M.H., Fenves, G.L., McKenna, F., and Filippou, F.C. “Software patterns for nonlinear beam-column models.” Journal of Structural Engineering, 134(4):562-571, April 2008
