Hello, I’m starting using the software and I was wondering if incremental dynamic analysis is the equivalent to doing a pushover wising time history curves

Thanks for replying, I'm working with defaults so what would be a more stringent convergence criteria?

Thank you for all the support, the other question I got from the model is that when i check strains graffics, in a few elements I'm getting behaviors completely out of normal and I dont understand why because all of othe elements are connected in the same way and its just in a few that i'm getting ...

Hello Tim Huff, after checking the model do you perhaps have any suggestions to connect the several horizontal elements (the screen conformed by beams) between themselfs and also the question i put before about how do I know when a structure starts to behave unstably?





Thanks for all the help ...

Hello, thank you for replying

I'm using this model to replicated a real structure that collapsed so I want to reach a point to determinate for what load and displacement the structure starts to behave unstably.

Also another factor that I'm not really sure is that the middle part of the tower both ...

Hello, For a month or so I've been modelling a tower in seismostruct and doing a Push down analysis (z direction) when I run it, it often reach a point where it says it can't whithstand the force, but if I set another load factor or number of steps it may reach a higher displacement, also I check ...
