problem with using ReinforcingSteel model

Post by sriram »

Hi silvia and others,
I am analysing RC shear walls and i am using ReinforcingSteel model to model the rebar. when i try to run i encountered the follwoing error. Not able to understand what is the problem..


My material defination:
uniaxialMaterial ReinforcingSteel 5 71.03 97.5 28537 28.53 0.0097 0.101 #steel model for #5 rebar
uniaxialMaterial ReinforcingSteel 6 71.00 96.53 28248.5 28.53 0.0096 0.101 #steel model for #6 rebar
uniaxialMaterial ReinforcingSteel 7 66.74 90.00 26546.2 26.53 0.010 0.086 #steel model for #9 rebar
uniaxialMaterial ReinforcingSteel 8 55.1 100.0 22882.5 22.88 0.00241 0.1 #steel model for #4 rebar

thanks for the help.

before the comment you need to place a ;
otherwise it assumes the comment is part of the command, the ; breaks the line into 2 command lines.
