I'm a user of BuildingTcl 1.9.
I build a very simple 2D frame with only the “ ElasticBeamColumn” element.I found some problem when I was trying to run the analysis, whenever I clicked on the “Analysis” botton, an error message named "application error" poped up, reading:
--------------------------------------------
Error: Can’t read “OpenSeesElementModelData”
---------------------------------------------
If I click the "Details>>" botton on the error message, it reads:
---------------------------------------------------------
invalid command name "wipe"
invalid command name "wipe"
while executing
"wipe"
(procedure "initializeModelBuilder" line 2)
invoked from within
"initializeModelBuilder $Dim"
(procedure "buildModel" line 40)

"buildModel $thisModelLabel"
(procedure "AnalyzeNow" line 277)
invoked from within

(procedure "tk::ButtonUp" line 24)
invoked from within
"tk::ButtonUp .wBuildingTclViewer.pwPanes.frame.bAnalyze"
(command bound to event)
-----------------------------------------------------
Also in the command window there is the error about:
Need to IMPLEMENT OFFSET DATA IN 3D!
But If I use the default beam and default column elements, there is no this error. This error happens, even I watched the demo many times, and followed your way of building the model.
Can you tell me what the problem is?
And would you please tell me how to perform the Modal Analysis using the BuildingTCL? And is there some way to apply the mass to the node? And is it possible to apply the concentrate load to the node?
And there is some ghsot element that I don’t understand what it is. For example, the 4th, 5th and the 8th element. So is there somebody can tell me some informaitons?
Thank you for your great contribution and thank you in advance for your solution of the problem !
