Post by moshtagh »

Hi every body

I have some load that have Trapezium shape time series. Its mean that the load have linear value (for example increase from 0N to 10 N) from time 0 to 2 second ( with Linear Time Series) , and it heve constant value for 5 seconds from time 2 to 7 second (with Constant Time Series) and suddenly the load should be decrease to 0 from time 7 to 9. How I can wrote the time series that the Openess knows , what am I doing.

Crate a .txt file that will contain load values that you want to apply on your model. Call it using time series Path command (http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... TimeSeries).
