Convergence in OpenSees: Practical Solutions for Cyclic, Pushover, and Time History Analyses

Introduction Nonlinear static and dynamic analyses in OpenSees and OpenSeesPy often face convergence issues, especially in cyclic, pushover, and time history simulations. These problems can arise even with correctly defined models, due to solver settings, load increments, or numerical instabilities. This blog post introduces convergence control scripts designed specifically for OpenSees (Tcl) and OpenSeesPy (Python). […]
