Working on it !

Thank you very much for your response.

Yes, I have checked the manual. But i am still unable to simulate the pinching behavior.

Thanks for your response.

Thank You very much for your response Tim Huff.
I want to use "smooth" hysteretic model but the problem is that it has a lot of sensitive parameters. And i am facing problems in understanding these parameters.

If somebody has already worked on it, please help me.

I have modeled a SDOF system in Seismostruct and want to simulate globe response of unreinforced masonry structure (Experimental study gives a pinched hysteretic loop) . what constitutive model should i assign to link element (inserted b/w 2 nodes).

Thanks !
