imposedMotion Command

This command is used to construct an ImposedMotionSP constraint which is used to enforce the response of a dof at a node in the model. The response enforced at the node at any give time is obtained from the GroundMotion object associated with the constraint.

imposedMotion $nodeTag $dirn $gMotionTag

$nodeTag

node where response is enforced

$dirn

dof of enforced response

Valid range is from 1 through ndf, the number of nodal degrees-of-freedom.

$gMotionTag

pre-defined GroundMotion object tag

NOTE: The GroundMotion object must be added to the MultipeSupportExcitation pattern before the ImposedMotionSP constraint.
