More about BuildingTclViewer File Menu

New

  • The user is prompted for a new filename and location.
  • We recommend that the user not save the input file in the root directory of the program, but that a new sub-folder be created.

Create New Folder


Load

  • The script may be generated using a txt editor, or created using BuildingTclViewer and saved onto a file.
  • The user can modify and augment the input and then save the new script to the same file or a new one.
  • NOTE: The current release of BuildingTcl and BuildingTclViewer cannot interpret input files with OpenSees commands. Only files with Tcl and BuildingTcl commands are interpreted.
