Our apologies to those of you who attended the webex event on the 25'th. We had a technical problem with webex (someone else managed to log in as the host!). The event did occur and a video of it will be made available after tomorrows webinar for those who missed it. Sorry again.

OpenSees is a widely used in both research and practice. OpenSees was designed and developed as a research tool intended to allow developers to quickly test new theories using the finite element method, whether this be new material, element, algorithm, integrator, solver, .... One advantage of OpenSees over other finite element applications is the ease with which these new components can be added to the application so that they may be tested and verified by the developers and then shared with others. The intent of this seminar is to show just how EASY this can really be.

This seminar covers:

• Introduction
• Example - Adding a new Material
• Example - Adding a new Integrator
• Summary and conclusions

The webinar will be given twice.

• Register for Event at 10AM PST on Jan 25 2012
• Register for Event at 4PM PST on Jan 26 2012

PST=Pacific Standard Time (GMT-8hrs)
