A modern OpenSees renderer

sees is a finite element rendering library that leverages modern web technologies to produce sharable, efficient, and beautiful renderings.

---

Documentation is currently under development.

Features

• Extruded deformed shape

• Detailed section rendering

• A wide selection of rendering backends and output file types, including optimized 3D web formats like .glb.

• Correctly render models that treat both y or z as the vertical coordinate. Just pass the option vert=3 to render model z vertically, or vert=2 to render model y vertically.

---

Command Line Interface

To create a rendering, execute the following command from the anaconda prompt (after activating the appropriate environment):

python -m sees model.json -o model.html

If you omit the -o <file.html> portion, it will plot immediately in a new window. You can also use a .png extension to save a static image file, as opposed to the interactive html.

To plot an elevation (elev) plan (plan) or section (sect) view, run:

python -m sees model.json --view elev

and add -o <file.extension> as appropriate.

To see the help page run

python -m sees --help
