Creating nodes from importing text file

[TrishReddy]

Hello all,

I am new to Opensees.

I want to know if is there any option to create nodes using a text file containing coordinates.

Thank you very much for the help.

Use Tcl or Python to read the coordinates from the file and create nodes.

Sorry to ask a stupid question, but is it possible to import Tcl-format data into a Python Session, and if so, how?

I am using the OpenseesPy library with Python 3.9 on Windows 10.

Check this link:

it helps you to convert some basic tcl codes to python.

Thanks. I was aware of that script and had started to look at it. However, I noticed that the OpenSeesPy changelog included mention of a "Tcl to Python converter", and wondered it was somehow included in OpenSeesPy.

Version 3.4.0.2 (7/20/2022)
Update to commit abebbee.
Update sectionForce and sectionDeformation commands.
Update Tcl to Python converter.

If not then I will simply continue with the script you mentioned.
