Clarification on Data Storage and Object Handling in OpenSeesPy

[pollinico]

Hi,

I’m interested in using OpenSeesPy within a broader Python-based analysis framework. However, I find it unclear from the documentation where the structural and analysis objects are stored.

After defining the structure (geometry, materials, loads, etc.) and setting up the analysis, where is this data retained?

The reason I ask is that I would like to encapsulate the analysis setup within a function or class, return the analysis object at the end of the function, and potentially use it for further processing or post-analysis tasks.

Could you provide any examples or guidance on implementing such use cases?

Thank you!
