Opensees for fire by LimingXLiming

The OpenSees development for modelling 'structures in fire' was started at University of Edinburgh in 2009. A number of researchers worked on this long-term project with their own contributions which enable OpenSees to perform analyses for 'structure in fire' including heat transfer analyses, thermo-mechanical analyses, hybrid fire testing, and integrated simulation.
