Commands
- addLoadData LoadLabel $LoadLabel
- addLoadData LoadTypeLabel $LoadTypeLabel
- addLoadData $RequiredArgument1Label $RequiredArgument1Value
- addLoadData $RequiredArgument2Label $RequiredArgument2Value
- …
- <addLoadData $InputArgument1Label $InputArgument1Value>
- <addLoadData $InputArgument2Label $InputArgument2Value>
- …
- addLoad
Different LoadTypes have different input arguments:
Arguments
- $LoadLabel
- Unique Load Label for reference
- $LoadTypeLabel
- Specifies which LoadType is being used.
- $RequiredArgument1Label $RequiredArgument1Value ...
- Labels and corresponding values for LoadModel-specific required argument.
- $InputArgument1Label $InputArgument1Value …
- Labels and corresponding values for LoadModel-specific Input Arguments (Optional)
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.
Options
Default Loads
BuildingTcl comes with a set of pre-loaded Default Loads. It is recommended that the user modify these pre-loaded AnalysisModela and save them under a new name. The library of loads is not complete with the default Loads alone, though, since no default can be created for a file-input ground motion.
The following Loads are available:
- DefaultGravity
- Unscaled gravity load
- DefaultPushover
- Pushover in the X direction to a maximum displacement of 1.0
- DefaultUniformSine
- Uniform ground-motion input sine wave in X direction, with acceleration amplitude of 1.0, Period of 1.0, duration of 1.0
