Commands
- addElementTypeData ElementTypeLabel $ElementTypeLabel
- addElementTypeData ElementModelLabel $ElementModelLabel
- addElementTypeData $RequiredArgument1Label $RequiredArgument1Value
- addElementTypeData $RequiredArgument2Label $RequiredArgument2Value
- …
- <addElementTypeData $InputArgument1Label $InputArgument1Value>
- <addElementTypeData $InputArgument2Label $InputArgument2Value>
- …
- addElementType
Different ElementModels have different input arguments:
- BuildingTcl -- addElementType: ElementModelLabel truss
- BuildingTcl -- addElementType: ElementModelLabel corotationalTruss
- BuildingTcl -- addElementType: ElementModelLabel elasticBeamColumn
- BuildingTcl -- addElementType: ElementModelLabel nonlinearBeamColumn
- BuildingTcl -- addElementType: ElementModelLabel beamWithHinges
Arguments
- $ElementTypeLabel
- Unique Analysis Label for reference
- $ElementModelLabel
- Specifies which ElementModel is being used.
- $RequiredArgument1Label $RequiredArgument1Value ...
- Labels and corresponding values for ElementModel-specific required argument.
- $InputArgument1Label $InputArgument1Value …
- Labels and corresponding values for ElementModel-specific Input Arguments (Optional)
Notes
The addElementType command must be placed at the end of each ElementType-data definition, as it takes all data defined since the last addElementType command and define the ElementType.
Options
Default ElementTypes
BuildingTcl comes with a set of pre-loaded Default element types for Columns, Beams and Braces. This library of element types should be sufficient in defining a model.
The following ElementTypes are available:
- DefaultColumn
- ElementModellabel=nonlinearBeamColumn
- Transformation Type=Linear
- NIntegrationPoints=4
- DefaultBeam
- ElementModellabel=nonlinearBeamColumn
- Transformation Type=Linear
- NIntegrationPoints=4
- DefaultBrace
- ElementModellabel=truss
- DefaultNBC
- ElementModellabel=nonlinearBeamColumn
- Transformation Type=Linear
- NIntegrationPoints=4
- DefaultNBCPDelta
- ElementModellabel=nonlinearBeamColumn
- Transformation Type=PDelta
- NIntegrationPoints=4
- DefaultBWH
- ElementModellabel=beamWithHinges
- Transformation Type=Linear
- PlasticHingeLengthModelLabel=HOver2
- DefaultBWHPDelta
- ElementModellabel=beamWithHinges
- Transformation Type=PDelta
- PlasticHingeLengthModelLabel=HOver2
- DefaultRCBWH
- ElementModellabel=beamWithHinges
- Transformation Type=Linear
- PlasticHingeLengthModelLabel=Priestley96
- DefaultRCBWHPDelta
- ElementModellabel=beamWithHinges
- Transformation Type=PDelta
- PlasticHingeLengthModelLabel=Priestley96
- DefaultBracePDelta
- ElementModellabel=corotationalTruss
