OpenSeesPy Grillage wizard — ospgrillage

ospgrillage is a Python wrapper around OpenSeesPy to speed up the creation of bridge deck grillage models. OpenSeesPy is a Python interpreter of the well-known Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees) framework.

ospgrillage lets you:

1. Quickly generate and analyse a bridge deck grillage model in the OpenSeesPy model space, with many forms of loading and load cases.

2. Export a .py file containing the OpenSeesPy commands which, on execution, recreates the prescribed grillage model.
