The Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees) is a software framework for simulating the seismic response of structural and geotechnical systems. OpenSees has been developed as the computational platform for research in performance-based earthquake engineering at the Pacific Earthquake Engineering Research Center.

Example
Building your own OpenSees
Not updated for version 3.3.0
OpenSees is not an easy package to build on *nix systems. OpenSees bundles various linear algebra packages such as BLAS, CBLAS, ARPACK, LAPACK, various components of SUITESPARSE, METIS and SuperLU. Many of these libraries are useful for scientific computing and are probably already installed on HPC resources or can be installed from package managers on various linux distros. It's a waste of time and resources to duplicate these libraries within OpenSees that may or not be updated with new features and bug fixes. To build OpenSees, download the following Makefile.def to the OpenSees directory
