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.
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.
