Bug in Pushover example?

[jayghosh]

Hi!

I am trying to do the pushover analysis using the fiber section from the OpenSees examples here: http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... with_units

Every time, it shows the error: " Node::addunbalLoad - load to add of incorrect size 6 should be 3"...And the results produced are incorrect. Is this a bug in the latest release?

I have not changed any parameter and using the example as is. Also, I am using the latest OpenSees download.

Thanks!

Jay

P.S. I just checked with an older version of OpenSees and the pushover works just fine. There is some issue with the latest version I think

it is a bug in the script.

in the current version we started counting the number of load values specified with the load command and give an error if more or less is provided than is required. previously there was only an error if too few were provided. find the load command and remove the 3 ones provided in error.

Thanks, Frank. That helped.

For everyone's reference: In the pushover file, you just need to replace

pattern Plain 200 Linear {; # define load pattern -- generalized
load 2 $Hload 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.0
}

with

pattern Plain 200 Linear {; # define load pattern -- generalized
load 2 $Hload 0.0 0.0
}

It works as expected after this change.
