Dear All;
I want to use harmonic analysis for one story and one way frame. I want repeat this analysis ten times and in each, period of harmonic will change and I want save results in separate files, therefor I defined a loop with "for". then analysis were done without any error and warning and I have ten output file too, but unfortunately nine files have identical results which is extra ordinary. I guess there is a mistake in changing of period of excitation. could please help me if using "for" loop is correct or not and if there is better way or not?
I added our file here too.
thank you in advance.
