Setting which OpenSeesPy to use

Since there’s more than one way to install and use OpenSeesPy, it’s necessary to make sure openseestools is using the same one that the rest of your code uses. By default, openseestools will try to import a locally-built version of OpenSeesPy, falling back to pip-installed OpenSeesPy. You can set this by overriding the opensees variable.

For example, if your locally-built opensees.so isn’t on your Python path when you import openseestools, you can tell openseestools to use your version instead:

# Import openseestools, which falls back to pip-installed openseespy
import openseestools

# Import your locally-built module and tell openseestools to use that
import opensees as ops
openseestools.opensees = ops
