Could you tell me, why it doesn't work

[Rodgers]

well, it wouldn't work because you are invoking the standard Tcl shell, not OpenSees.

try running OpenSees in command prompt and use:

source ???.tcl

I get the same problem with so many commands (i.e. ndf, or element etc.). Rogers is rigth, but if we can not open our tcl files in a tcl editor, how can we edit them? (Yes I know, we can use notpad but than tcl looses its benefit). I could not understand this very well. Are we supposed to use tcl ediyor only to be able to run OpenSees.exe, but not for editing the input files?

Thanks,

i use crimson editor for tcl files.
however, you need to go to windows and associate the editor program (whichever editor you use), rathern than the executable TclWish program.
