<t>Thank you again dear Tim.<br/>
<br/>
Your response for my first question was perfect.<br/>
In fact when I compare between Sap2000 and SStruct, it makes me confused, because in Sap2000 Keff is used for modal analysis and K0 and Fy are used for nonlinear analysis.<br/>
But in SStruct we have just ...

<t>Thank you so much dear Tim for your response,<br/>
<br/>
I want to knwo how seismostruct calculate Keff ? while displacement (D) of the link element is not defined by user. <br/>
<br/>
And also which method do you propose for coupling the shear deformation in two direction (longitudinal and ...

<t>Hello everyone.<br/>
I’m about to model a base isolated bridge. I use the “bl_kin” link element for representing the behavior of rubber isolator.¸<br/>
I have two questions about base isolator modelling in Seismostruct.<br/>
1- Is the software considering the bidirectional behavior of the ...

Dear Huffte,

Could you please send me the mentioned three isolated models ?

Thank you
