It offers analysis blocks (Whole Model Recorder, Static, Pushover, Earthquake, Eigen, Reset, Wipe) and raw OpenSees analysis commands. New commands go at the insertion point: click an insert zone between rows to move it, otherwise they are added at the end.

Working with the list

  • Rows are grouped by category and collapsible.

Running
