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
source myBuildingTcl.tcl
<setDataDir Data>
<setUnits -Length $BasicLengthUnit -Force $BasicForceUnit -Time BasicTimeUnit>
source myBuildingTcl.tcl
<setDataDir Data>
<setUnits -Length $BasicLengthUnit -Force $BasicForceUnit -Time BasicTimeUnit>

The following commands are Building-Tcl specific. They are used to run the OpenSees simulation.
- BUILD AND ANALYZE
SelectModel …..
SelectLoadCombination …..
BuildAndAnalyze
SelectModel …..
SelectLoadCombination …..
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.
