invalid command name "uniaxialMaterial"?

Post by christhestampede » Tue Jun 17, 2008 12:52 pm

I was attempting to model a multi-story, multi-bay structure as in example 5 and create definitions for concrete and steel materials to try to model a reinforced concrete section, but when I ran my source, I got this error:

Code: Select all

invalid command name "uniaxialMaterial"
I went back and checked the spelling and cases very carefully, but I dont think that was the problem because I also ran the example source (http://opensees.berkeley.edu/OpenSees/m ... ialsRC.tcl)

and I got the same error. Why isn't OpenSEES recognizing my command? Thank you again in advance

Please make sure you have the model BasicBuilder command at the beginning of your tcl file
