I'm learning how to use STKO to build and run a model with Opensees. Now I encountered two problems with the post-processor.

I think I did the right installation of the software and the pre-processor works. When I download an example file from "https://asdeasoft.net/?stko-example-files" and learn how to build the model, the model is able to run, but I cannot see any output. There is a *.mpco.cdata file but no *.mpco files. There is no error message appearing on the terminal window as shown below. The model is right because I download it from the official website, and the Opensees does not have any problem because it can run other models manually. The version of Opensees is 3.2.2.


I found some ways that may be useful to solve my problem in this forum. Two reasons were mentioned: 1. the version of Opensees is incorrect; 2. the hdf5.dll, szip.dll, and zlib.dll are needed for Opensees. I download an old Opensees from asdeasoft, and copy three dll files to the same directory as Opensees, but neither of them can work on my computer.
Another problem is that when I click "Run Analysis", the Opensees CMD windows will be closed automatically no matter what version of the software I used.

Thanks.

Dear setinterval,

It is not possible to download OpenSees from our website because we don't distribute it. You can download the program from the official website or from other Universities otherwise you can compile your own version of OpenSees. STKO is independent and it works separately from OpenSees, thus we don't understand where you downloaded OpenSees from.

I can't see the picture, could you please attach it to your question?

It looks like you are using the official OpenSees version downloaded from the Berkley website. They do not distribute the HDF5 libraries that are necessary for the MPCO Recorder.

If when you launch OpenSees from STKO, it closes immediately, it means that you probably did not set up the solver correctly in the Kits command window.

Could you post a picture of the dialog that pops up when you run the Kits command?

Another test that you can do, is to go into the folder where STKO generated the TCL files; Open a command shell; launch opensees manually from there, something like C:\your_path_to_opensees\OpenSees.exe .\main.tcl.
In this way, even if OpenSees has an error, you should be able to see it in the command shell.
