I have something to ask and I will post.
The following useful code causes an error in "Eqscaling.tcl" when reading a seismic wave.
can't read "designspectra(0)": no such element in array
The seismic wave was used as the response spectrum, and the acceleration was stored in the first column
and the period was stored in the second column, and saved as "Eighteen_Stories.txt".
In what format should the given txt file be given so that the error disappears?
I would appreciate it if you could tell me.

How to input response spectrum txt file.

Re: How to input response spectrum txt file.
I can read "designspectra(0).
And the calculation was done.
However, I get an error and stop at the following points.

There was a corresponding code in AppAnalysis_area.v6.tcl.
I would be grateful if you could give me some advice.
