<t>Dear huffte<br/>
i mentioned sap2000 as an example,i did this model in both sap2000 and abaqus 6.10. the answers were 0.24 and 0.23 respectively but in seismo it's 0.17. this is what i can't understand. maybe there is a mistake in my model or mass sources. what do you think how could i check it ...

<t>Dear all<br/>
As you mentioned before i watched some movies and read some manuals for modeling my chimney. i used rcchs sections,infrmFB element classes,and for the element connectivity i used center points of 2 rings afret each other,fixed the base,but no other constraints.<br/>
i got 0.24 sec ...

thank you for paying attention to this topic.
could you please tell me how can i get the nodes to the program and assign the elements?
and if it possible could you please tell me which kind of element i can use for the shell to response inelastic?

Dear users
i'm working on RC chimneys. could seismo-struct model the concrete chimney and run adaptive pushover analysis?
regards.
