OpenSees has licensing issue :-(
I plan on contacting one of the main authors of OpenSees soon to inquire about the possibility of a license change.
Like my FreeCAD work? I'd appreciate any level of support via Patreon, Liberapay, or PayPal! Read more about what I do at my blog.

I think it has licensing issue for commercial purpose. look this, you can understand it more than me surely.

which is an effort to make it to run on latest compilers and hardware.
Original FElt is at: http://felt.sourceforge.net/
added Felt to the list of interesting solvers FEM_Solver

Hello @bernd. If we want to implement OpenSees, I think we must convert geometry, boundary conditions, loads, materials , etc to proper OpenSees .tcl file or in newer version to *.py. Is it correct?

exact. It is the way Elmer, Z88 and CalculiX solver work.

ATM it seams XC fits much more in my needs than OpenSees. Thus I will go for XC. BTW, XC has an python interface already. ATM I'm still trying to get into XC before I gone start to write some code how to get data from FreeCAD to XC.

excelant! if you find some overview of xc, please share it here. one question:
how xc uses opensees and when, do you know?

xc is based on opensees code basis with lots of enhancements. New features of opensees are ported to xc, but features of xc are not pushed upstream into opensees. See https://github.com/xcfem/xc/issues/46

It will be better, if you make project outline.

Project's objectives, what you have, where you wish to go, and what will be approach.

Do you need our input on your project? That will not be of great help, if we don't see that project overview.

Thanks a lot! It's very interesting :)
registered student? I am Phd student in iran: university
I studied those links. since i am iranian, i think google can't accept me, because they obey laws of america an america has been boycotted my country. except this, i'm will be happy to participate at this project.
