ooooooooooooooh! so the load is defined in local coordinating system of the beam! I didn't know that Tnx :):)

hi, i changed my ele load to "eleLoad -ele $i -type -beamUniform 0 -9.984 0" and it worked! I wanted to apply my load in "y" direction does is not suppose to be "eleLoad -ele $eleTag1 <$eleTag2 ....> -type -beamUniform $Wy $Wz <$Wx>" ? cause it seems the place of "...

tnx , I will check the code again and try what you said
