Overview
ospgrillage is a python wrapper of the OpenSeesPy package to speed up the creation of bridge deck grillage models. OpenSeesPy is a python interpreter of the well-know Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation (OpenSees) software framework. ospgrillage provides a simple python API which allows users to:
- Quickly generate and analyze a bridge deck grillage model in the OpenSeesPy model space, including many forms of loading and load cases;
- Export a py file containing the OpenSeesPy commands, which on execution, creates the prescribed OpenSeesPy grillage model.
The ability to use ospgrillage directly to do bridge deck analysis, or to export the OpenSeesPy command file for further editing, facilites an enormous range of use cases in both practice and research.
Documentation

Capabilities
Modelling
Bridge Deck Models
- Beam elements only - a traditional form of model
- Beam elements with rigid links - a modification of the traditional form for box sections
- Shell and beam elements - the modern form of modelling, but with more complex results interpretation
Meshing
- Single-span decks
- Skewed (Oblique) and Orthogonal meshes
- Positive and negative skew angles
- Allows for skew mesh to be set up to 30 degrees
- Allows for orthogonal mesh to be set no less than 11 degrees
- Grillage elements grouped automatically for easy assignment of properties
- Autodetect edges of spans as supporting nodes
- Allows for diaphragms / end slabs
- Allows for unit width properties for transverse slab/members
- Pinned and roller supports
Element types
The following OpenSees element types are supported:
- elasticBeamColumn
- TimoshenkoBeamColumn
- Shell elements
Materials
- A JSON materials library file for codified common material properties
Utilities
Load types
- Nodal loads
- Point loads
- Line loads
- Patch loads
- Compound loads (any combination of the above load types)
Analysis
- Load cases contain arbitrary multiple load types, including compound loads
- Moving load analysis of arbitrary load types through compound loads
Post-processing
- Output results utilise python's
xarrayformat - Retrieve result envelopes from
xarrayresults - Query options for moving load
- Plotting displacement and force component from the results
