I have a file with single column of force value (constant). All these values having the same time difference (time-step). Now I have to apply each of those values to an element in my OpenSees model. I have define the time series path using the below mentioned command

timeSeries Path $tag1 -dt $dt -filePath R_DragForce.tcl -factor 1;#Defined timeseries path

pattern Plain $i $tag1 {

eleLoad -ele 45 -type -beamUniform [expr $b*(1)] 0.0 ;# Span-1 b value is defined

}

integrator Newmark 0.5 0.25

analysis Transient

analyze 1 $dt

I dont know why my pattern is not considering the element load. Can anyone suggest me anything.
