Technical Programme
The first day, entitled Getting Started With OpenSees is intended to give a major overview of the program features, starting from a basic introduction of the structure of the programme, introducing some basic tools and interpreter related issues. This is followed by a basic introduction to nonlinear static and dynamic analysis, with simple illustrations being given. Nonlinear frame elements are then addressed, covering their characteristics, pitfalls and major advantages being discussed, along with the options available within the programme framework.
Then an introduction to ND elements currently available and their applicability in nonlinear analysis of some very simple cases is presented. The day finishes with two lectures on specific analysis which have been developed with the framework tools, fire and geotechnical modeling. The models, along with a small tutorial are provided to all the attendees.
The second day is essentially composed by the presentation of multiple and more complex problems as case study examples. The first lecture will be focused on adding code to the framework, while the following lectures will broaden our horizons in which concerns to the analysis of complex systems with the parallel processing tools currently available.
The remaining time will be spent with presentations given by the participants of the workshop. The main goal of these presentations is to share recent developments, outcomes, challenges and launch a productive discussion among the participants.

Presentations
This
Workshop intends to give a brief overview on the latest developments made on
the OpenSees software as well as present some research outcomes in which
OpenSees play an important role. Hence, interested
developers and users are welcome to submit presentations to the organising
committee in order to present their work during specific sessions.
