Error when using "recorder mpco"

[whzju]

When I use "recorder mpco" function, this error came out.
I think this is because I used the function "clock" in my main tcl file.
Does anyone how to solve this problem?

don't use "format" otherwise tcl will look for the clock.tcl procedure, which is not included in the tcl folder that we distribute with STKO.

You can either just use "set time [clock seconds]" without the "format" option
or
You can copy a complete TCL installation in "C:\Program Files\STKO\opensees" (replacing the tcl folder there) and then you can use the "format" option

Typically what I do for timing a function is :
set time_start [clock milliseconds]
...
set time_end [clock milliseconds]
set elapsed [expr ($time_end - $time_start)/1000.0]
puts "Elapsed time: $elapsed sec."

Got it.
