Run OpenSees-Express App#

Submit job(s) OpenSees-Express App

by Silvia Mazzoni, DesignSafe, 2025

In this Notebook we are going to run a set of OpenSeesMP jobs and a set of OpenSees-Express Jobs. We are also submitting the jobs from different input-file storage systems – MyData, CommunityData, Work, MyProjects

This notebook serves as a template for submitting the following DesignSafe OpenSees Apps:

  • openSees-express

I have combined all the commands into a common-command cell and one cell per storage system.

We are using previously-defined python function to streamline the process.
