$GMscale

Ground-motion scaling factor. Optional, default = 1.0

Notes

• The addLoad command must be placed at the end of each Load-data definition, as it takes all data defined since the last addLoad command and define the Load.
• $GMscale and $GMfactor seem redundant for UniformEQ, but they are there to keep consistency with multi-direction input motion
