Error in input ground motion

Post by mja165 » Sat Apr 06, 2013 6:24 pm

Hi Vesna,

I get this error:
Warning invalid cFactor 966.0 {-Series -factor ...}
alloc: invalid block:032690C0: c0 3
This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information.

And this is the part of the code which this error occurs:

# define constant facfor for applied velocity
set cFactor [expr $rockDen*$rockVS]

# define velocity time history file
set velocityFile $record

# timeseries object for force history
set mSeries "Path -dt $motionDT -filePath $velocityFile -factor $cFactor"

puts " ! ! ! Load Pattern built ! ! ! "
# loading object
pattern Plain 10 $mSeries{
load 1 1.0 0.0
}
puts "Dynamic loading created..."


Would you be kind to give me any hints about the error?

It looks like there is a problem with the value of $cFactor.

Use puts command to see the value of $cFactor.
