Photos of the speakers from the NEESit/OpenSees mini-Workshop

Dr. Silvia Mazzoni of the OpenSees Development Team

described the overall features of NEESit and OpenSees and

provided several illustrative examples of how to carryout

numerical simulations with OpenSees

Dr. Frank McKenna describing the benefits of object oriented programming and

the techniques incorporated in OpenSees for carrying out complex nonlinear

dynamic analyses

Doctoral Student Patxi Uriz describing methods for modeling lateral buckling

as well as using OpenSees to carry out hundreds or tens of thousands of

simulations as part of seismic vulnerability assessments.

Doctoral Student Andreas Schellenberg described

OpenSees Navigator, a Graphical Interface for

Conducting numerical and hybrid simulations.
