# Plain Pattern
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_Constraint 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 <-fact $cFactor> { |
load... |
eleLoad... |
sp... |
... |
} |
NOTES:
|
unique tag among load patterns |
|
the tag of the time series to be used in the load pattern |
|
constant factor (optional, default=1.0) |
load... |
command to nodal load |
eleLoad ... |
command to generate elemental load |
sp ... |
command to generate single-point constraint |
