Structural Analysis with OpenCS Navigator

This lecture guides students on how to use the OpenCS navigator for structural analysis, including installing necessary interpreters, replacing executables, and accessing remote desktop environments. The instructor demonstrates how to connect to the server, run the OpenCS navigator, and perform post-processing analysis on structures, such as plotting force-displacement graphs and analyzing deformation. Additionally, the lecture covers advanced topics like defining degradation in material models and conducting displacement-controlled analyses. Students are shown how to define material models, elements, and analysis options, ensuring correct setup for structural simulations.
