Example 4 GMfile

[minafateh]

Dear Silvia

I sourced Ex4.Portal2D.build.InelasticFiberSection.tcl in Ex4.Portal2D.analyze.Dynamic.EQ.Uniform.tcl and Model was built but the error is :


Cannot open GMfile/H-e12140.at2 for reading

Can’t read ”dt” no such variable

Do I have to change anything in SMDfile.tcl?

All of the files are in one folder:

Ex4.Portal2D.build.InelasticFiberSection.tcl
Ex4.Portal2D.analyze.Dynamic.EQ.Uniform.tcl
H-E12140.AT2
ReadSMDfile.tcl
LibAnalysisDynamicParameters.tcl
OpenSees.exe

2. Why did not you define Bars for Beam like Column in fiber section? model

Thank you

set GMFILE to be "./" or go in and edit script to take out the GMfile/ wherever you find it in the scripts.

[minafateh]

Thank you! but I did not understant clearly!

You mean I sould change the following section:

# Uniform Earthquake ground motion (uniform acceleration input at all support nodes)
set GMdirection 1; # ground-motion direction
set GMfile "H-e12140" ; # ground-motion filenames
set GMfact 1.5; # ground-motion scaling factor

Thanks

[fmk]

yes.

[minafateh]

sorry Frnk, there is also the same error!

could you plaese show me as an exmple in one line how you exactly set the command for reading GMfile?

[silvia]

check the that the gm files are in the directory specified by the example.
make sure your editor has not saved the file with an additional extension.
