Check out the new H5DRM load pattern for DRM-based seismic analysis on OpenSees. You can find the documentation and all the example files here.
DRM stands for the Domain Reduction Method. It is a game-changer for seismic analysis. The DRM allows the analyst to subject their soil-structure systems to earthquake input featuring rich 3D motions. That is, you're no-longer restricted to assuming that the in-coming seismic wave-field is a planar wave, which is what 99% of analysis nowadays still assume. This is very important for several types of structures, for example as I showed was true for nuclear power plants subjected to near-field earthquake motions.

In this short video I teach you how to compile the latest OpenSees and OpenSeesPy on Ubuntu Linux 22.04.
Compilation is setup with no "bells and whistles", meaning its not optimized in any way and does not include any extra features.
The history file mentioned in the video can be found here and this is the CMakeLists.tex file.

In this short video I teach you how to compile OpenSees 3.2.0 on Ubuntu Linux 20.10.
Compilation is setup with no "bells and whistles", meaning its not optimized in any way and does not include any extra features.
The history file mentioned in the video can be found here and this is the Makefile.def.
Check out Silvia's Brainery and Michael Scott's blog for more awesome OpenSees stuff!
