PEER

proposal/document outlining what we are going to do to meet their list of shortcomings.

  1. Better documentation in wiki format for both modeling and analysis to adderess concerns over poor documentation and difficulty developers have in getting documentation uploaded.
  2. Best of practice examples for industry users.
  3. User requirements doc.
  4. OpenSees Lite - fewer choices with validated models
  5. Educate Users
    1. voice-over workshop slides
    2. fcf on nonlinear analysis video
    3. Better documentation
  6. Data Output to database - better doc & test usability.
  7. Possible GUI - Mahmoud to look at existing
  8. For next release - registration update & surveymonkey before get to code when user hit download button.
  9. Regular Webex meeting with Users!

NOTES FROM PEER MEETING

OpenSource

  1. Engage community spirit
  2. Recognize limitations of open-source with regards to research based fe code
    1. Developers typically students who leave
    2. Developers working on individual classes
    3. Limited follow-up on fixes, maintenance and support after submission of code
  3. Given limitations how can we help.

PEER document outlining problems with OpenSees from a users point of view created by outside consultant and OpenSees guru (Z.Yang - ucsd!)

  1. Solution Documentation
  2. User Command and Examples Manuals.
  3. ??
  4. Updated tech Manual.
  5. GUI

Users:

  1. We need an integrated user environment for PBEE design methodology from NGA database to fragility curves.
  2. User Requirements doc. Where do we get the requirements?
    1. Projects currently funded
    2. Anybody who might get a project
    3. NEES user forum
    4. Survey (surveymonkey)
    5. Questionaires at meetings
