1 question about a pushover analisys

Post by alessandro.paparo »

hi all! i want to do a pushover analisys. i write the script, but Opensees says to:

"WARNING bad command - want: load nodeId 6 forces
Input command: load 11 0 1142100.0 0
WARNING - error reading load pattern information in { }"

whta it means? i don't understand where is the problem.

My script is:
"pattern Plain 200 Linear {; load 11 0 $F2 0
load 21 0 $F3 0
load 31 0 $F4 0
load 41 0 $F5 0
load 51 0 $F6 0
load 61 0 $F7 0
};"

thx!
