This technical note presents a framework for multi-site distributed simulations of structures, foundations, and sub-strata under static and dynamic loading. It features a separation of time-step integration and stiffness formulation, allowing the use of static analysis and testing as modules within a simulation coordinator. Two examples, one combining analysis and experiment, and another using different analysis platforms, demonstrate the framework's capabilities.
