Reading earthquake records from a file

Post by Ameri »

I have several earthquake records in text file format, which are written in 4 columns. The first column is time and the others are x-, y-, and z-components, respectively. Just wanted to know if there is a kind of Path TimeSeries in OpenSees that reads such a file, or if I have to write a script that does that for me. Thanks.

you need to write a script to do so.
