FeView: Finite element model (FEM) visualization and post-processing tool for OpenSees

This paper describes a newly developed tool, called FeView, which is a Python-based graphical user interface (GUI) for OpenSees solver. FeView offers an open-source and stand-alone windows system that is very easy and simple to use. It can support a wide range of element types (46 types) and all kin...
