Convert tcl code to OpenSeesPy commands#

opstool.preprocessing.tcl2py(input_file, output_file, prefix='ops', encoding='utf-8', keep_comments=False)[source]#

Convert OpenSees Tcl code to OpenSeesPy format.

Tip

  • This function supports Tcl syntax and will flatten your Tcl code, including loops, judgments, assignments, proc, etc,.

  • Do not use assignment statements for OpenSees commands, such as set ok [analyze 1], set lambdaN [eigen 10], it will trigger an error! This is because this function does not run the OpenSees command at all.

  • It is recommended to remove analysis related tcl code and keep only commands such as model building and load definition to avoid possible exceptions. The analysis-related python code you can add manually, although this function provides the ability to convert the analysis Tcl code.
