This commnand allows the user to construct a LoadPattern object. Each plain load pattern is associated with a TimeSeries object and can contain multiple NodalLoads, ElementalLoads and SP_Constrait objects. The command to generate LoadPattern object contains in { } the commands to generate all the loads and the single-point constraints in the pattern. To construct a load pattern and populate it, the following command is used:

pattern Plain $patternTag $tsTag {
load...
eleLoad...
sp...
...
}


NOTES:

  1. The command to generate a LoadPattern contains in { } the commands to generate all the loads and single-point constraints..

$patternTag unique tag among load patterns
$tsTag the tag of the time series to be used in the load pattern
load... command to nodal load
eleLoad ... command to generate elemental load
sp ... command to generate single-point constraint
