I am very sorry, because there have been many things in my life in the past year. OSLite was not updated for the entire year. A new version is coming. very fast! Full of surprises.
Je suis vraiment désolé, car il y a eu beaucoup de choses dans ma vie au cours de la dernière année. OSLite n’a pas été mis à jour pour toute l’année. Une nouvelle version est à venir. Très vite! Plein de surprises.
非常抱歉，这么长时间我都没有更新OSLite。过去一年，我的生活中发生了许多事。一个全新的版本很快就会发布，充满惊喜！

下载完成后为什么bin里没有oslite应用程序。。多次下载后就算有也打不开
被杀毒软件杀也吧？是不是电脑有毒感染了
陈老师，您好，为什么我下载之后打开，电脑提示：Windows无法访问此，设备，路径或文件，你可能没有适当的权限访问该项目。没有OS在后台跑，之前明明用的好好的，这几天突然就没权限了。。。
你好，代入得模型没有显示出来是不是代表模型有问题。
源代码的编码格式改一下，你看看是ansi还是utf8
Hi everyone.
When I calculate the eigen-values, my model dont run with the “-fullGenLapack” option. Its possible change the solver?
I try modify the file “MainFileTmp.tcl” but when I run the OSlite this file automatically modify.
Thank you very much! You helped me with my pre-grade work with OSlite!!.
Regards.
You are welcome!
陈老师，您好！很感谢您能回复我，是我的我自己的OPenSees模型，该模型是多梁模型，我试验了一下，单梁模型没有问题，但是一运行多梁模型就会出现该问题。我的模型是一座斜交梁桥。
你好，陈老师，请问为什么我的OpenSees模型导进去，可以计算周期等，但是一点显示模态振型，软件就卡住然后闪退呢？
模态的代码是自己写的还是我的程序自动生成的呢？
模态的代码是自己写的，刚刚试验了一下，单梁模型就完全没有问题，多梁模型就会出现这个问题。我的模型是一斜交连续梁桥。
试试用程序自动生成模态代码。或者如果不介意的话，把代码发我试试。
首先非常感谢陈老师研发这个软件！请问陈老师，为什么我的模型打开后什么也不显示呢？
代码显示么？如果代码不现实，可能是代码文本的编码问题，改成utf8试试
想請教一下 該如何看OPENSEES裡面的程式碼
我没太明白你的问题
这个可以看应力云图吗，我只找到位移云图
工作太忙了，没时间写这部分代码啊
陈老师您好
想请教一下有的模型打不开，或者说打开模型没有任何反应是什么原因？
代码编辑器显示代码不？再不行你可以把代码发我看看
Dear Chen
Congratulations on your excellent work
I cant install this software. it’s show this eror “oslite .exe has stopped working” !!!!
my windows is 7.0 64 bit. please help me.
Thanks
como instalo OSlite??
Es un ejecutable. Descarga el zip, luego ve a la carpeta BIN, y ejectuas “OSlite.exe”
Saludos!.
Espanol？
Yes!
Regards
Hi Dear Chen
I know you are busy but i wanted to know , Did you add modification on Farsi language in OSLite?
陈老师：
您好 请问在real time monitor deform 分析的时候未响应，程序关闭怎么解决？
代码发我邮箱，我帮你看看
Hi Dear Chen
Sorry for asking again
Could you modify (persian) farsi language for software ?
不太清楚这个软件怎么用？
就是个可以看模型的代码编辑器
Here’s my solution to the problem (0xc000007b): just reinstall the ActiveTcl from OpneSEES official site.
跳出来的这个错误提示是OpenSees的还是OSLite的？系统是32还是64？OpenSees.exe是32还是64？
抱歉没看到留言。是OpenSEES的,Win10 X64
我这系统也是win10 64，但是OSLite是32位程序，你的opensees和tcl最好是32位的，因为我没测试过64的opensees
您的软件非常清爽，感谢用心制作！
做着玩玩的，目前还没发现实用价值！
我也遇到了同样的问题
Dear Chen
Sorry for asking again
Could you add (persian) farsi language to software ?
I am very busy in recent days, I will send you this Friday.
陈老师 ，您好。我正在学习opensees，我想使用您开发的这个软件。您能发一份给我吗？十分感谢
上面有下载链接的！
本人也在做相关工作，求解，如何调用opensees在后台计算，并同步监听是否计算完成
邮件联系
Hi Dear Cheng
Many thanks for your excellent work
I want to translate the app to persian for persian audiences
Is there any way to help me?
I saw a tutorial which translate other applications with exeScope app but i could not because of an error
Best Regards
I have stopped developing this version. If you need it, I can support you in a Persian version. Give me your email address, I will give you the language file.
Thank you for your rapid response.
My mail : Amir_shahin@yahoo.com
Best regards
Dear Chen,
Thank you for this wonderful software.
By the is there any way to change the units? I do it with different lib.tcl file with MKS units but I see not option to update it in the software.
如果能同时提供Mac和Linux版本就好了
工作太忙了，新版本也一直都没更新！
对你来说，应该很简单。如果程序对系统没有太强的依赖性，换成gcc编译下，应该就可以了。
其实一开始我就考虑过跨平台的问题，所以界面用了wxwidgets，图形库用VTK，都是开源跨平台的，代码也能在mingw32下编译。不过作为设计院绘图狗，真的没有太多时间用来写代码。前阵子因为签证问题，我失去了继续读研究生的机会，这段时间我真的没有心情搞这个。
嗯，你很厉害，加油！
请问出现“程序无法正常启动（0XC000007b）”是什么问题
系统是啥？win7？ 32还是64位？
想问一下哪个版本支持win10-64位？
最新版都支持的
Hi Dear Chen
would you explain me what’s the function of Port and Host in Analysis Option?
Best regards
This function is used to view the displacement in real time
See the change in displacement before the end of the analysis
127.0.0.1 is localhost
My visa to go to France was rejected
This is very bad for me
Thank you Mr Chen for your response.
Please accept my condolences
Wish you best luck
Hi, I want to know can the section shape visualized by your program?
thanks in advance
I am developing…….
hi mr. Chen,
is there available for 64bit versions? since published version are not working properly in W10 64bit.
bugs list:
– program crash on display deformed result
– font color set for model are not working, become invisible when using white background
wish list:
+ element force, plastic rotation diagram for fiber beam element
+ contour legend for shell element stress as displayed in Exam25.tcl above
+ contour legend for solid element stress
are you have plan to make OSlite opensource?
greetings,
I had open source OSLite，and you can download the source in Github.
Here is the link：http://github.com/OSLite-OpenSEES/OSLite
great news! thanx alot.
i have been look from github, seem it’s based on wxwidget and vtk were requiring me to learn.
yes
Hi Dear Chen
I modeled soil with QuadUp element.
i want to see my results such as pore pressure,stress and strain through all my model
But “Show force stress” icon is off (unavailable) in software.
is there any solution for this problem?
Best regards
This function has not been written yet
Is there any chance for developing this feature in newer versions in following month?
I’m busy applying for a master’s degree in France recently. I don’t know if I have time to update OSLite in a month.
hi,
am getting this after running the analysis in Oslite
“FullGenEigenSolver::solve() – the eigenvalue 1 is numerically undetermined or infinite”
How to solve this? After appearing this in output window it says Opensees.exe stopped working.
But my code is running properly in Opensees.exe command prompt.
Thanks

Dear Chen,
I’ve just discovered your software, it is a great tool. I am having problems running models as I receive a message saying “can not find channel named stoud”. Do you know what does it mean? (I’m using Windows 10 64bits and version 351 of OSLite)
Thanks in advance

Hi
I am using OSLite for modelling RC frames in OpenSees. I am getting error during running while using ‘remove’ command (without using remove command, OSLite runs without any error). I ran the script directly in OpenSees without any error. Please Help.
Regards
Nithin VL.
can you send your tcl script to my Email(two version),i will debug it tomorrow
I have send the model files to your mail ID.
Hi,
I can not run OSLiite, I have the error “OSLite stop working”. I have installed Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 X86 and all the libraries similar to api-ms-win-crt-convert-l1-1-0.dll and I am still having the same error.
How Can I fix these erros?

hi I cannot install oslite , it’s show this eror “oslite .exe has stopped working” !!!!
is it only run in windows 64 bit ???? or not
thanks
OSLite is a win32 program.
If you are using ATI（AMD） graphics cards？
If answer is yes，I think you should update graphics card driver.
thanks but my graphics card is intelHD
try to update graphics card driver.
OSLite is using OpenGL to visualtion model,so you should chack you graphics card driver.
终于有人搞这个前处理的工作了，厉害！希望能不断改进！
其实有不少团队都在开发可视化程序，但是都没有公开而已。
