it can be various hysteretic responses according to the damper's characteristics. in order to model such dampers, i recommend using ''bl_kin'' as i used according to the result of static test which I've done in the Lab. for instance I obtained Qy=130 kN and Dy=5 mm.

dear Seismosoft team,

Thanks for your support,
I mean the total energy input curve including kinetic, strain and damping energy during the time of earthquake.

Sincerely,
Baha

I have another question:
how can i get the amount of total input energy from seismostruct?

Thanks for your support,
Baha

hope you consider this for the next version of the software. looking forward to seeing updates.
In fact the model that i have mentioned above has been modeled by seismostruct and been verified by experimental data. the analysis model has a good response if the displacement of damper is small. but in ...

dear Seismosoft team,

to be clear, consider a viscous damper installed to the pinned joints at both ends. therefore, the damper has only axial resistance but can have free rotation in other direction corresponding to the pinned joints. referring to the manual, i can set orientation which is ...

Dear Huff

thanks for the response,
I think the seismosoft team should consider this phenomenon for the next version of seismostruct. as far as i know there is a software that can report natural period at any level of plastification. but not all software perfect. there is always lack of something ...

Hello dear Seismosoft team,

I'm currently modelling damper element at the pin joint which allows damper to rotate freely. regarding this, I have modeled the damper and set the locals coordinate for it. hence, the damper deforms according to the fix local coordinates that I set which opposed to the ...

Dear Huff
thank you so much for your kind response,
For my research project, I need the value of natural periods considering both linear and nonlinear analysis. is it possible to screen that?

Thanks
Baha

Dear Seismosoft team,
I have an question about natural time period,
Does the SeismoStruct consider the changes in natural time period due to the plastification of or stiffness deterioration of members during nonlinear analysis?

Thanks
