This command is used to construct an ordinary LoadPattern object in the Domain.
pattern Plain $patternTag (TimeSeriesType arguments) {
load (load-command arguments)
sp (sp-command arguments)
eleLoad (eleLoad-command arguments)
}
$patternTag |
unique pattern object tag |
TimeSeriesType arguments |
list which is parsed to construct the TimeSeries object associated with the LoadPattern object. |
load ... |
list of commands to construct nodal loads -- the NodalLoad object |
sp ... |
list of commands to construct single-point constraints -- the SP_Constraint object |
eleLoad ... |
list of commands to construct element loads -- the eleLoad object |
NOTE: The TimeSeries object is handled by the Tcl interpreter as a list and can be defined a-priori and given a variable name.
EXAMPLE
pattern Plain 1 Linear { ; # define LoadPattern 1. impose load in a linear manner
load 3 100 0. 0. 0. 0. 20.; # apply force and moment at node 3
