Different LoadTypes have different input arguments:

Arguments

$LoadLabel
Unique Load Label for reference
$LoadTypeLabel
Specifies which LoadType is being used.
$RequiredArgument1Label $RequiredArgument1Value ...
Labels and corresponding values for LoadModel-specific required argument.
$InputArgument1Label $InputArgument1Value …
Labels and corresponding values for LoadModel-specific Input Arguments (Optional)


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
