It is important for all users who intend to use the thermal version of OpenSees to first read the user manuals on OpenSees Berkley Site. A pdf version of the step-by-step instructions on downloading,installing and using OpenSees can be downloaded here.
Getting Started Manual Command Manual
The following documents are specially developed for OpenSees for fire.
Getting Started with OpenSees for Fire
This documentation provides a basic understanding on how to evaluate the structural response in fire using OpenSeesThermal. Relevent Tcl Commands are illustrated by several examples.
Command Manual for OpenSees for fire
This manual provides a list of all new commands along with its attributes.
Examples are presented to demonstrate the thermomechanical analyses using the thermal version of OpenSees Framework. These are in addition to the simple example discussed in Getting Started with OpenSees Thermal.
OpenSees now has been extended to heat transfer analysis, which is based on a simple mesh tool with particular emphasis on heat transfer to structural members from fire.
SIFBuilder is developed as an computational tool to perfomr integrated analysis of structures in fire
OpenFire is developed as a middleware tool for heat transfer module and thermo-mechanical analysis module to commnunicate with CFD fire models/idelaised fire models
