OpenSees Example 2a. Elastic Cantilever Column with variables

Introduction

The objective of this example is to demonstrate the use of variables in defining the OpenSees input.

While the structural model is the same, there are two lateral-load cases:

Input

Static Pushover Files Ex2a.Canti2D.ElasticElement.Push.tcl

Dynamic EQ Ground Motion Files Ex2a.Canti2D.ElasticElement.EQ.tcl BM68elc.acc (ground-motion file)

Run

• To run Static Pushover analysis:

source Ex2a.Canti2D.ElasticElement.Push.tcl

• To run EQ ground-motion analysis (BM68elc.acc needs to be downloaded into the same directory):

source Ex2a.Canti2D.ElasticElement.EQ.tcl
