how to move the load pattern?

Post by zhmkitten »

hi, I am doing the static pushover, I want to change the load pattern at each step. but I dont know how to change the load pattern , when I use the wipeAnalysis command trying to remove the former load pattern. but It seems not to be what I want.so anybody here could tell me how to wipe the former load pattern ,and add the new one to the modal.thank you !
