set IDloadTag {1,2};
set iGMfile {"GMX1.txt","GMX2.txt"};
set iGMdirection {1,2};
set iGMfact {10,10};
set dt 0.02;
foreach GMdirection $iGMdirection GMfile $iGMfile GMfact $iGMfact {
set GMfatt [expr 1*$iGMfact];
set AccelSeries "Series -dt $dt -filePath $iGMfile -factor $GMfatt";
pattern UniformExcitation $IDloadTag $GMdirection -accel $AccelSeries;
}

hope this works
