DataBase command is used to construct a FE_Datastore object. Currently there is only one type of Datastore object available. The invocation of this command will add the additional commands save and restore to the OpenSees interpreter to allow users to save and restore model states.

The model or domain in OpenSees is a collection (an aggregation in object-oriented terms) of elements, nodes, single- and multi-point constraints and load patterns. It is the aggregation of these components which define the type of model that is being analyzed. The component classes, are as shown in the figure below:

<uml> package "OpenSees Model" #DDDDDD

abstract class Element Domain o- Element Domain o- Node Domain o- SP_Constraint Domain o- MP_Constraint Domain o- LoadPattern </uml>

The following are the modeling commands that have been added to OpenSees interpreter to create these components of the finite element model:

• database
• save
• restore
