Thanks! Here is the output I get:
When I press a key once, the message repeats. The second time I press a key the terminal closes.

Ok, I think you are not passing the file name to opensees. Can you post a screenshot of your analysis kits editor? One when you select your manual solver Opensees.exe, and another when you select the run_opensees.bat . I need to see the complete command that appears in the bottom text line. I assume there is no %1 at the end... While it should be there, it is a place holder for the file name to pass to opensees.
Note: in the bat version, you need to click twice to exit because there is the pause command both in the bat file and in STKO... It's just a test

I am not sure if I understood correctly what you asked. Here is a screenshot of "Kits":
The terminal just reads:
To select "OpenSees.exe" I just go to Manual (0), which looks like this:
I then go to Solver and select either "Manual (0)" for OpenSees.exe or "Manual (1)" for the bat file.
Here is what the bat file contains:

I added "%1" at the end of the OpenSees file address in "Kits" and here is the result (the terminal is also visible):

Exactly what I thought.
The Command string for your 2 manual solvers are missing the
#1 keyword.
The
#1 keyword is used as a place-holder that STKO will replace with the filename of the TCL script to run.
There is another keyword, #2, that instead is used a place-holder for the number of processor. This is of course only useful with OpenSeesSP and OpenSeesMP (parallel versions).
Please change the Command string adding the #1 keyword as in this example:

Instead, if you want to use parallel versions of OpenSees you can also add the #2 keyword as in my OpenSeesMP batch file:

- parallel.png (19.86 KiB) Viewed 3373 times

Thanks, that solves my problem. I am sorry that I wasted your time with such a small issue that was ultimately my fault. Keep up the good work!
