Get Started in OpenSees with STKO: W12 Linear Static Analysis

In Week 12, Francesca demonstrates how to model a steel frame structure from scratch and perform a linear static analysis. - 00:00 Welcome/intro/course structure - 01:56 How to construct the geometries, define and assign physical and element properties, and applying loads and boundary conditions using the Python API - 5:21 Demonstration in STKO - 6:09 How to use the Geometry building script to build floor by floor - 16:48 Script to assign offsets/sections - 21:20 Assigning elements properties to the model (using a selection script) - 24:10 Assigning conditions to the model - 26:18 Applying self-weight to beams and columns - 29:45 Script to insert conditions into a load pattern - 30:45 How to create and run a linear static horizontal analysis if you want to create load combinations - 33:35 Postprocessing the analysis results The class uses the same structure from ex4.scd explained in detail with the addition of truss elements to model braces, numerous scripts to automate calculations through the Python API, and definitions of load combinations for specific limit state analysis.
