AIM OF THE COURSE
OpenSEES (Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulations) is an open-source software mainly conceived for the seismic analysis of structures. The source code is public in order to facilitate its wide diffusion and to be adaptable to the needs of users, who can also modify and extend default libraries in terms of materials, components, and algorithms. The main difficulties that users usually face during their first approach to OpenSEES are due to the programming language, which might appear rather complex. Following previous editions, the main goal of this short course is to provide a basic understanding of finite element-based theoretical framework and programming language in OpenSEES. Structural engineering and research applications will be also presented.
The 7th edition of the summer school will be held at Politecnico di Torino from July 5 to July 6, 2022.
ORGANIZATION OF THE COURSE
The full-immersion course is scheduled over 2 days, starting from fundamentals to advanced applications. The Summer School is organized together with the 2nd Eurasian OpenSees Days Conference which will be held at Politecnico di Torino on 7-8 July 2022. Summer School participants will have a special discount to attend the conference.
Lectures are organized as follows:
- Theoretical lectures – Fundamentals about the Finite Element Method.
- Applicative lectures – Programming language and model development in OpenSEES.
- Live workshop – Live exercise using OpenSEES.
TARGET AUDIENCE & LANGUAGE
Master students, PhD candidates, post-doctoral fellows, and practitioners. The course will be offered in English.

EUROASIAN OPENSEES ASSOCIATION
Eurasian OpenSees (EOS), formerly European OpenSees, is a trans-continental non-profit association of engineers and academics who share the vision of contributing to the development of efficient and effective computational tools for complex engineering analysis and design. EOS was officially founded and registered in 2017.
The transformation from a European based organization to a Eurasian one came due the vast contributions of researchers in Asia to computational structural mechanics and their elaborate and numerous efforts in developing and utilizing OpenSEES. EOS aims to bridge the continental gap between the East and West and contribute to global engineering and scientific collaboration. The mission of the organization is to:
- Encourage and promote the principles of structural engineering according to the theories and techniques developed within the framework of international scientific research, with particular but not exclusive reference to the structural calculation framework OpenSEES, developed at the University of California, Berkeley;
- Organize, promote and disseminate study and research activities, training, development, design, promotional and publishing initiatives and other initiatives designed to foster exchanges of experience both between members and with other scholars and institutions.
- Develop and offer cutting-edge courses, workshops, seminars, and conferences to enrich the skillsets of researchers and practitioners around the world.
All the students and researchers interested in OpenSees are highly encouraged to become part of the association!
DEPARTMENT OF STRUCTURAL, GEOTECHNICAL AND BUILDING ENGINEERING
The Department of STRUCTURAL, GEOTECHNICAL AND BUILDING ENGINEERING (DISEG) is the point of reference in Politecnico di Torino for the areas of knowledge that study safety issues and the practical and formal planning of constructions, taking into account environmental and human actions and their integration with the natural and built environment, considering their uniqueness and regarding the local community. DISEG promotes, coordinates and manages basic and applied research, training, technology transfer and services to the local community in the fields of structural mechanics, structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, building technology, building production, drawing and representation.
