Continuum Cantilever

Solid • Dynamic • Python

Continuum Cantilever

Dynamic analysis of a cantilever beam, modeled with 8-node brick elements.

Frame • Offset

Rigid Offsets

This example tests the effect of rigid joint offsets in a diamond-shaped frame. The analytical solution is known, and the test is used to verify the correct treatment of offset geometry in a 3D frame element.

Simply Supported Solid Beam

Plane • Python • Tcl

Simply Supported Solid Beam

In this example a simply supported beam is modelled with two dimensional solid elements.

Dynamic Shell Analysis

Shell • Dynamic • Python

Dynamic Shell Analysis

Finite element analysis of a shell model using OpenSees and veux.

Concrete

Solid

Concrete

This example demonstrates how to construct and test the ASDConcrete3D material model under cyclic uniaxial compression. The simulation captures strain localization and damage evolution using an automatically regularized fracture energy.

Drucker–Prager Triaxial Test

Solid

Drucker–Prager Triaxial Test

This example simulates a conventional triaxial compression test using the Drucker–Prager model in a single 8-node brick element. Stress and strain response are recorded at the Gauss point.

Cable Stayed

Python • Tcl

Cable Stayed

Model of a cable-stayed bridge imported from CSiBridge

Arch Instability

Python • Static • CE221

Arch Instability

Several nonlinear static analysis methods are used to investigate instabilities in a shallow arch.

Extrusion with bricks

Solid

Extrusion with bricks

A hexahedral finite element mesh is generated with xara and executed with OpenSees.
