Hi All,
Im creating a model to perform time history analysis of MDOF. I want to apply gravity first and here is the partial python code. it keeps raising error. Could anyone help me? thank you so much

bw = 2000
sM = 1 * pow(10, -3) # floor rotational mass
# nodal coordinates:
ops.node(1, 0, 0, 0) # node , X Y
# Single point constraints -- Boundary Conditions
ops.fix(1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) # node DX DY RZ
for i in range (2, numstory + 2, 1): # here we are modelling 9 floors in total
ops.node(i, 0, 0, (i - 1) * (h / numstory))

Where you able to solve the problem?
