OpenSees Rendering

__version__ = "0.0.2"

Synopsis

render.py [<options>] <model-file>

Arpit Nema, Chrystal Chern, and Claudio Perez

This script plots the geometry of a structural model given a SAM JSON file. The SAM JSON structure was developed by the NHERI SimCenter.

Installation

The simplest way to install this script is to run

$ python render.py --install

from a terminal that has python installed, in a directory containing the render.py file. This will install the following packages:

REQUIREMENTS = """
pyyaml
scipy
numpy
plotly
matplotlib
"""

Matlab

In order to install the Matlab bindings, open Matlab in a directory containing the files render.py and render.m, and run the following command in the Matlab interpreter:

render --install

Once this process is complete, the command render can be called from Matlab, just as described below for the command line.

Usage

This script can be used either as a module, or as a command line utility. When invoked from the command line on Windows, {NAME} should be python -m render. For example:

python -m render model.json --axes 2 --view elev

The script may be invoked with the following options:

NAME = "render.py"
HELP = f"""
usage: {NAME} <sam-file>
       {NAME} --setup ...
       {NAME} [options] <sam-file>
       {NAME} [options] <sam-file> <res-file>
       {NAME} --section <py-file>#<py-object>

Generate a plot of a structural model.

Positional Arguments:
  <sam-file>                     JSON file defining the structural model.
  <res-file>                     JSON or YAML file defining a structural
                                 response.

Options:
  DISPLACEMENTS
  -s, --scale  <scale>           Set displacement scale factor.

  VIEWING
  -V, --view   {{elev|plan|sect}}  Set camera view.
  -a, --axes   [<L><T>]<V>       Specify model axes. Only <V> is required
      --hide   <object>          Hide <object>; see '--show'.
      --show   <object>          Show <object>; accepts any of:

      --install                  Install script dependencies.
      --setup                    Run setup operations.
      --script {{sam|res}}
      --version                  Print version and exit.

EXAMPLES="""
Examples:
    Plot the structural model defined in the file `sam.json`:
