Getting the most out of STKO

[candicenichols]

Hello, fellow engineers and modelers! I've recently started exploring the STKO (Scientific ToolKit for OpenSees) pre-processor for my structural analysis projects. I'm curious to hear from others who have experience with STKO: What are your thoughts on its features and capabilities, especially in comparison to other pre-processors you've used? Additionally, if you have any tips or best practices for getting the most out of STKO, I'd be incredibly grateful if you could share.

Hi, STKO provides many powerful pre- and post-processor features for OpenSees. You can refer to STKO's webpage and YouTube channel to know its features and capabilities. To get a comprehensive idea, I would recommend you to read a recently published research article on comparison of different GUIs for OpenSees.
