TCL Command USING

Syntax

USING arg1 arg2

Description

All stations of a member have a name in the TCL file for reference. These names are numbered (cf. Input of stations). If only parts of the model are to be imported (e.g. in case of partial import of tendons), then these station names are missing in the TCL file. The USING command prepares the list of existing stations for referencing.
