BuildingTcl Commands
Most BuildingTcl Library commands consists of a series of parameter-defining add-Data commands, concluded by an add-Object command, which takes the previously defined parameters and assembles them into an individual library object.
- SET UP

- BUILD AND ANALYZE

BuildAndAnalyze
Run BuildingTcl
- myBuildingTcl.tcl – no graphics
- Incorporates BuildingTcl commands into the Tcl Interpreter
- The BuildingTcl commands are used within OpenSees.exe or OpenSeesTk.exe.
1. Run from OpenSees Prompt:
a. Run OpenSees.exe or OpenSeesTk.exe b. Source myBuildingTcl.tcl at OpenSees prompt c. Source input and analysis files at OpenSees prompt
Run BuildingTclViewer
- myBuildingTclviewer.tcl – BuildingTcl with graphical interface
- Incorporates BuildingTcl & BuildingTclviewer commands into the Tcl/Tk Interpreter
- This file needs to be sourced from the OpenSeesTk.exe prompt, or by double-clicking on the BuildingTclViewer.bat file
1. Run from OpenSees Prompt:
a. Run OpenSeesTk.exe – a Tk window opens up (do not close it). b. Source myBuildingTclviewer.tcl at the OpenSees prompt ::the Tk window becomes the BuildingTclviewer
Or 2. Double-click on myBuildingTclviewer.bat
Getting-Started Input File
This file contains all the input data for the building model and simulation. It can be used by both BuildingTcl and the BuildingTclViewer.
