Is there a reason that to run a Python analysis, one has to select OpenSeesPY as the analysis engine? This does not seem to make sense? Should the menu open perhaps read Python Script?

We have actually changed the name from Openseespy to Python for the coming release (v3.2). It will be available within a few days. Thank you for the feedback

Thank you for bringing up this important point. You are correct; the menu option should be more explicit, like "Python Script," rather than specifically mentioning "OpenSeesPY" as the analysis engine. Let me clarify the reason behind this. OpenSeesPY is a Python library that provides a Python interface to the OpenSees framework, which is a widely used software for performing structural and geotechnical analysis. When the menu option is labeled as "OpenSeesPY," it might give the impression that it is the only Python analysis option available, which can be misleading. In reality, Python is a versatile programming language, and there are various analysis libraries and tools available that can be utilized for different types of simulations and computations. Users might want to run Python scripts using other libraries specific to their analysis needs.
