Report errors in defining pattern for gravity analysis of 3-d frame

[wchvik]

Dear all,

Errors is reported as the following when I was defineing a pattern for gravity analysis of 3-d frame

expected integer but got "-type"

Part of the code of defineing the pattern is as follow

Code: Select all

pattern Plain 101 Linear {

eleLoad -ele 112101 -type -beamUniform 0. 0. -9.349200;	#Column
eleLoad -ele 112102 -type -beamUniform 0. 0. -9.349200;
eleLoad -ele 112103 -type -beamUniform 0. 0. -9.349200;
eleLoad -ele 112201 -type -beamUniform 0. 0. -9.349200;
eleLoad -ele 212103 -type -beamUniform -38.940000 0.;	#Beam
eleLoad -ele 212203 -type -beamUniform -38.940000 0.;
eleLoad -ele 212303 -type -beamUniform -38.940000 0.;
}

I double chekced the above codes and I am sure I follow the correct rule in defineing element loads. So could anyone tell me what's wrong with this problem?

There's a parsing issue with eleLoads. Try adding some new lines after the closing brace }
