and for nDmaterial command given in manual..

nDMaterial ElasticIsotropic $matTag $E $v

what does 6.75 indicate here?

i want the dimensions of the simply supported beam with the load details given in the code... please respond me... waiting for it...

Thanks.

recorder display SimplySupportedBaam 10 10 800 200 -wipe
prp 20 5.0 100.0
vup 0 1 0
viewWindow -30 30 -10 10
display 10 0 5

what does prp vup mean?
