Notes
The addLoad command must be placed at the end of each Load-data definition, as it takes all data defined since the last addLoad command and define the Load.
Options
Default Loads
BuildingTcl comes with a set of pre-loaded Default Loads. It is recommended that the user modify these pre-loaded AnalysisModela and save them under a new name. The library of loads is not complete with the default Loads alone, though, since no default can be created for a file-input ground motion.
The following Loads are available:
- DefaultGravity
- Unscaled gravity load
- DefaultPushover
- Pushover in the X direction to a maximum displacement of 1.0
- DefaultUniformSine
- Uniform ground-motion input sine wave in X direction, with acceleration amplitude of 1.0, Period of 1.0, duration of 1.0
