PRICE TABLE
STKO (Scientific ToolKit for OpenSees) is a powerful pre and post processor and cutting-edge data visualization tool for Opensees. By using STKO a user can create a Tool Command Language (TCL) input file for Opensees and an output file readable by its graphic interface. The user can customize and manipulate with a Python-based scripting interface the model input and output to create customized engineering demand parameters and output data.
Post processing of shell results at gauss points and at through-the-thickness integration points (fibers).
Post processing of beam-column results by means of a fiber-section plot, that allows the user to visualize results such as strain/stress at each fiber of each gauss points of beam-column elements.
Meshing algorithms in STKO pre-processor. Global and local edge seed, unstructured and structured mesh algorithms, triangle/tetrahedron, quadrilateral/hexahedron, linear and quadratic interpolations.
Post processing of beam-column results by means of a gauss-point plot, that allows the user to visualize results such at each gauss points of beam-column elements.

… features advanced CAD modeling tools, import-export of common CAD file formats, geometry repair tools, and a comprehensive set of meshing algorithms.
… is easily customizable via a python-based scripting interface. So custom components can be easily specified and added to the standard document, to fit the end-user needs.
… can then produce input files for OpenSees with all the information inputed by the user.

… features all common visualization algorithms (edge/surface color map, volume rendering, iso-lines, iso-surfaces, vector plots, etc..). Post processing also includes advanced visualization algorithms for beam/column and shell elements equipped with discretized (fiber) cross sections.
… is easily customizable via a python-based scripting interface. Therefore, results can be estracted and manipulated using custom python-scripts, allowing the end-user to produce custom information.
Finally, STKO uses an efficient opensource third-party database library for storing results. The MPCORecorder is a new recorder class for OpenSees that allows OpenSees to write results data in the format required by STKO.
All these features in one Software: STKO, a revolutionary visualization toolkit for Opensees

Python scripting interface
STKO provides the HDF5 database library on standard and advanced visualization techniques in post-processing and the structure of the proposed file format.
It most of all includes Python-based scripting interface for manipulation and customization of results and the implementation of the new recorder class in OpenSees. STKO shows numerical applications. It also provides examples of soil-structure interactions, visualization of beam and shell data defined at gauss and at sub-integration points. Moreover the management of output database via user-defined scripts, extrapolation and manipulation of data for production of new custom results.
