Hello and thanks for your excelent work

At this moment I'm working on my thesis and I really want to know if there is any way to make a composite section with [b]buildingtcl[/b].

I have to model a RC T section, but with a variable material core. I mean, at the section boundary, I need a more confined concrete than in the center.

Any answer will be ok.

[felipe_cordero]

any help?

[silvia]

you can use two different materials for the cover and for the core.

[felipe_cordero]

Thanks for your answer. But what a need is to use two different materials for the core. I need to separate the boundary part of the core of a big T section (wall's head) from the center, where the confinement is important for a long web.

[silvia]

is the T section not working?

see what you can do, i'm not working on further development of BuildingTcl right now.

Dear Dr.Silvia
I'm a user of BuildingTcl 1.9.
I found some problem when I was trying to configure the elevation of the
building model. In the elevation view, when ever I clicked on the beams, an error message named "application error" poped up, reading:

--------------------------------------------

Error: can't read "NoDefinedGravityDistributedLoad...

---------------------------------------------



If I click the "Details>>" botton on the error message, it reads:

---------------------------------------------------------

can't read "NoDefinedGravityDistributedLoad": no such variable
can't read "NoDefinedGravityDistributedLoad": no such variable
while executing
"set switch $NoDefinedGravityDistributedLoad"
("eval" body line 1)
invoked from within
"eval "set switch \$NoDefinedGravity$thisGravityLoadType""
(procedure "DrawInputModelElevation" line 579)
invoked from within
"DrawInputModelElevation"
(procedure "AddInputElement" line 39)
invoked from within
"AddInputElement "Column Story 1 ColumnLine 1""
(command bound to event)

-----------------------------------------------------

I watched the demo but the same error occurred even I followed your way of modeling. Can you tell me what the problem is? Thank you for your great contribution and thank you in advance for your solution of the problem !

[silvia]
