how can i make a "for loop" which is like in Matl

[pimkkk]

i have a distribute lateral load apply on a column, and i have a fomular for this load which is related to H(the height of the column), my problem is how i can define the load and then apply it on the column, like how can i define the variable H, how can i make the loop?

Many thanks!

is this a tcl or c++ question?

[pimkkk]

tcl

[fmk]

use tcl for loop inside pattern command:

[code]
pattern Plain 1 "Linear" {
for {set i 3} {$i < 5} {incr i 1} {
load $i 0.0 [expr -$P] 0.0
}
}
[/code][/code]

thanks very much.

i am wondering that if i can make a "doble-for loop" in tcl, like i have two variables in the load function.

besides, do i need to make ten "for loop" if i devide this column into ten elements, cuz one of the variables is h(the height of the column)

thanks again!

yes .. you need to look into the tcl language.

hi, could you please let me know where i can get the recorder command within/for a foreach loop?

thanks~

[fmk]

you can put the recorder command inside any loop!

[pimkkk]

but as you know, in foreach loop, i will get one result of the same element for each value of the variable, so how can i tell opensees to record these results, drift for example, which are based on different varible for the same element.

[fmk]

huh! .. you need to rephrase the question .. what exactly do you want.

[pimkkk]

um...i have a column, i divided it into 9 elements (10 nodes),this column is subjected to a random lateral distribute load, which is related to h (height of the node) and a (a variable whose value is 1, 2, 3, 4 respectively). Eventually, i want to get the drift of those 9 elements.

so when a=1, i will get one set of drift results of those 9 elements, and also when a=2, i will get another one set of results.

so my question is how i can tell opensees where to store these results for different a.

i use "for loop" for the h. and "foreach loop" for the a, but when i run the code, there is an error "extra characters after close-brace", so i thought maybe there is somthing wrong with the record.

Thank you very much!!!

[pimkkk]

i have fixed that brace error, and the new error is "wrong # argu: should be "foreach varList list ?varList list...?"

thanks again~

[pimkkk]

hi, i can now run the codes, but the results opensees gave me is still one set of results, like i only got one result when i have one a. but not the other results when a= other values.

so how can i get the other results???

Thanks a lot~

Can anyone explain, how to use this function for my filteringselect dojo form element
Here my element:
keyword = new Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_FilteringSelectq;
keyword->setAutoCompletefalse
->setStoreIdkeywordId
->setStoreTypedojox.data.QueryReadStore
->setStoreParamsarrayurl=>/autocomplete/keywords
->setAttribsearchAttr, id
->setAttribhasDownArrow, false
->setAttribstyle, width:200px
->setAttriblabelType,html

use the loop variable in recorder command.

[code]
foreach test {one two three} {

...
recorder node -file node2$test.out ...

...
}
[/code]
