thanks again
I checked the deformed shape menu and i'm afraid you might be wrong, because the displacements that you mentioned are cumulative integers, and displacement caused by each of the columns is nearly 2-3 millimeters. so at the top of the building there is a 3 cm vertical displacement ...

thanks a lot for your attention
I'm sorry what do you mean by vertical drift ? I thought you meant s.thing corresponding to axial deformation of columns caused by pressure and I checked the model under static loading, but I didn't see any axial deformation equal to 2 or 3 cm for columns(from element ...

hi seismosoft team
I almost read all posts that refer to convergence and ran into some suggestions about assigning links instead of releases in beams with simple connections. that didn't helped as well and made the analysis to diverge even sooner. I've tried any thing I could have think of and my ...

one more question : since the records will be scaled by a scale factor that leads to collapse of the models in IDA analysis, I guess there might be inelasticity for gravity members as well eventually, how would you see using infrmFBPH or infrmDBPH for gravity beam and columns in SCBF and EBS models ...

thanks a lot seismosoft support
the problem is I'm willing to run an Ida analysis and members will experience high levels of inelasticity in some runs for sure. for example when I try northridge record by a scale factor equal to 3 on the EBF model the beams outside the links (in braced bays) which ...

Hi
I need to run an IDA analysis for three different type of lateral system (EBF, SCBF, SMF ) in steel structures that are modeled in 8 and 12 story structures. the problem is I don't know what are the optimum numbers for integration section and section fibers for members of each model in order to ...

thanks a lot

hello
Iv'e been trying to run an IDA analysis on my steel structure model with EBf bracing, in order to take into account the hysteretic damped energy by shear links. i have assigned a springs (with bl_ kin response curve) at each end of the short beam. but the problem i have is that after i run a ...

Hi I’m trying to run an IDA analysis to evaluate seismic behavior of my steel structure with ebf braced frames, and I need story responses such as story accelerations, story drifts and residual drifts. My model has short links which I have used infrmDB for modeling them but since the software uses ...

thank you very much it was really great help.
best regards
