Hi @Sean,

I am running Lecture 37 script with a 15 story building as well as importing random ground motions.

I have been unsuccessful fixing the 1D error below:

Hi @asiric80, have you been able to run the code that comes with the course? It’s attached to lecture 35.

Hi Sean,

I resolved the error - it had to do with my array matrix dimensions.

Additionally, my animation is working perfectly! I think these links might be of interest to students having the same animation errors I encountered:

Installing FFmpeg

On another note, i have successfully simulated a 15 story building dynamic response using random ground motions via a LHS MC simulation import - fun work!

[Sean]

Fantastic! And thanks for posting those links!

Hi!

I am having the same dimensional error you encountered, can you explain what you did to solve it?

Thanks!
