what do you mean "it cannot work'? do you have OpenSees and Tcl installed? are you able to sun tcl commands at the opensees prompt?
an input file should have the extension .tcl, which means that in notepad, or wordpad, you need to save it as
filename.tcl and select the "all files" type below, otherwise it automatically saves it as filename.tcl.txt
then in opensees you type:
source filename.tcl

this should work.

you might want to look at the getting started document at the bottom of the manual:

or at:

I have the similar question. I edited a script file using Textpad and save it in .tcl format. But When I try to run it with OpenSees. But OpenSees can not find it. I use the following command" source TrussExample.tcl.Any
Any problem with it? If you know, will you please tell me?

thanks

If you do not have a class defined for tcl files, texpad will try to save it as a text file. You probably ended up saving the file as

Code: Select all

TrussExample.tcl.txt

Try using quotes when texpad asks for the file name, like this

Code: Select all

"TrussExample.tcl"

and you shouldn't have a problem...

Hope this helps...
