thank you so much for your kind answer.

hi:

does anyone know how to model a section of a RC shear wall with CFST boundaries?
see the figure of the shear wall in this link:

Thanks for the answers.

Hi：

I have followed your suggestions and checked the project settings in seismostruct v2018. The main difference of "convergence criteria" between v2018 and v2016 is that v2018 has one more option of "Automatic Adaptation of the Convergence Norms". The "Automatic Adaptation of the Convergence Norms ...

Hi:

Thanks very much for your reply! I will check the software ASAP to see if your suggestions could help.

Hi:

I just found that the convergence ability of Seismostruct 2018 is much worse than Seismostruct 2016.
The probelm is this, I made a static dynamic model in Seismostruct 2016 , and the model was successfully calculated in all 41 seconds. However, when I use Seismostruct 2018 to run this model ...

Hi:

I created a frame model, however, it seems that the model cannot run properly because the "range check error" problem.
The "range check error" happens when I was using the "out stresses and strains at selected locations" function of the "analysis output" menu.
Every time I selected the ...

Hi Zoi Gronti:

This is what I did in the modelling procedure. By the way, if Seismosoft can develop user-defined function for bar size, that will be good for the software.
Thanks very much for your reply!

Recently I started to use seismostruct to model and analyze my reduced-scale experiment.
However, in my reduced-scaled experiment, the size of stirrup bars is 4mm which cannot be simulated in the Seismostruct, beacuse the minimum size of stirrup bars in seismostruct is 5mm.
My question is: how can ...
