TCL Command PARAM

Syntax

PARAM arg1 arg2

Description

The special, standard-dependent response spectra can be entered more easily by a set of parameters. The program determines the spectrum in the form of a table from these parameters.

Arguments for the ECHORIZ earthquake event

Minimum quantity: 2
