This article describes a procedure developed to use the tool GiD as a pre- and post-processor for a 2D analysis of a soil continua in OpenSees. The necessary files for this procedure are described and made available for download. The procedure discussed in this article was used to develop the input file for the Dynamic Effective Stress Analysis of a Slope posted in the practical examples section of this manual. Certain details of this article will overlap with the article which describes the slope analysis.

The files which define the procedure discussed in this article include:

  • The GiD problemtype, UWnineQuad2Dup.gid, which consists of the following individual files:
    • UWnineQuad2Dup.bas, the main file which defines how the OpenSees input file is generated from the GiD input
    • UWnineQuad2Dup.mat, a file which defines the various material types available for the analysis
    • UWnineQuad2Dup.cnd, a file which defines certain conditions necessary for the analysis
    • UWnineQuad2Dup.bat, a batch file which renames the file output by the procedure as directory_name.tcl
    • UWnineQuad2Dup.tcl, a file containing two tcl procedures necessary to the creation of the input file

All of the files mentioned above can be downloaded by clicking here.
