Problem facing in running the example 7 3D Frame

Post by diptiranjanmajhi »

Hello Sir,
I am trying to run the example 7 3D Frame from the Examples Manual. Here I am providing the link:
http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... _W-Section

I am running the programme "Ex7.Frame3D.build.RCsec.tcl".
This programme is not running.
I think the main programme is somewhere stuck in between "DisplayModel3D.tcl" programme.

Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you.

Thank you for your prompt reply.
Yes, after removing this it is perfectly running.
# Define DISPLAY -------------------------------------------------------------
set xPixels 1200; # height of graphical window in pixels
set yPixels 800; # height of graphical window in pixels
set xLoc1 10; # horizontal location of graphical window (0=upper left-most corner)
set yLoc1 10; # vertical location of graphical window (0=upper left-most corner)
set dAmp 2; # scaling factor for viewing deformed shape, it depends on the dimensions of the model
DisplayModel3D NodeNumbers $dAmp $xLoc1 $yLoc1 $xPixels $yPixels

I think it is used for the displaying the deformed and mode shape of the system. It is not affecting the calculation and all.

I have one more question. Where to place the ground motion file?
I want to run "Ex7.Frame3D.analyze.Dynamic.EQ.Uniform.tcl" file after the model built for the same example.
I am putting all the files in the same directory and running from there. But I am getting an error.
Cannot open ../GMfiles/H-E12140.at2 for reading
can't read "dt": no such variable

Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you for your understanding.
