Too stable

I am having a the following lines in my input file:

set dt 0.01
set AccelSeries2 "Path -filePath Seisme31_11111.g3 -dt $dt -factor 1000"

# Create UniformExcitation load pattern
# tag dir
pattern UniformExcitation 2 2 -accel $AccelSeries2

These makes openSees relative happy apart from the calculations are not meaningfull.

The problem is that Seisme31_11111.g3 does really not exist, but this is no problem for the code which happy calculates something.

Would it not be posible to fix this error posibility from the user?

i have changed the code to spit out a warning message if the file the user specified does not exist .. it will be in version 1.6.2 and above.

I personally think execution should be stopped and the user prompted for another file name. Probably it's just a matter of taste.

we can make it do whatever you people want.
