how to get the load

Post by from tongji »

in my simulation, three load pattern is applied in turn,

1.pattern Plain 101 Linear {
eleLoad -ele 221 222 -type -beamUniform -$QdlBeam
eleLoad -ele 131 132 133 -type -beamUniform 0 -$QdlCol
eleLoad -ele 141 142 143 -type -beamUniform 0 -$QdlCol
eleLoad -ele 151 152 153 -type -beamUniform 0 -$QdlCol
eleLoad -ele 161 162 163 -type -beamUniform 0 -$QdlCol

}

2.pattern Plain 200 Linear {; # define load pattern
load 71 1 0 0 0 0 0
};

3. pattern Plain 201 Linear {; # define load pattern
load 31 1 -0.311 0 0 0 0
load 23 -1 0.311 0 0 0 0
}

if the pseudotime after all 3 patterns is corresponding to the third load pattern?

it is one pseudo time and the loads are all linearly proportional to it.
