UI-SimCor
Sub-structured Computational and Experimental
Simulation (UI-SimCor)

• Utilize unique experimental facilities of
  distributed NEES sites.
• Incorporate various static analysis modules, such
  as ABAQUS, FedeasLab, Matlab, OpenSees, Zeus-NL,
  etc., into virtual experiment
• Flexible combination of modules are possible all
  experiments, combination of experiment and
  computation, all computation
