<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
In current version of Seismostruct the performance criteria can only be set to control the response of inelastic frame elements and members whose response is elastic. Is there any way to set the performance criteria for the infill element?<br/>
<br/>
Thank you in advance for your ...

<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I'd like to ask whether it is possible to run 2 dynamic time history in a row? (i.e the second dynamic time history analysis applies to a structure that is already yield/damaged due to the first dynamic time history analysis, without any repair to the structure.) <br/>
<br/>
Thank ...

Hi,

I'd like to ask how to include nodal load/force (lumped mass) in the eigenvalue analysis as there's no loading option and this can affect frequency of the structure?

Thank you and regards,

<t>Yes, we can get the hysteretic energy from the hysteretic curve, but how about the damping energy (Ed)? I would like to compare the input energy (Ei) to the hysteretic energy (Eh) : <br/>
Ei = Ek + Es + Eh + Ed<br/>
where Ek = kinetic energy and Es = strain energy<br/>
<br/>
Thank you very much ...

One more question, is it possible to obtain the input energy directly from the Post-Processor?

Thank you once again.

Hi,

I couldn't find how to get "Energy dissipated capacity and demand in each Element and Story" in the Help System. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards

<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Sorry if my question is a very basic question: what is the right way to model the diagonal strut (i.e element is only acting for compression)? if I model it with truss element it will take into account the tension also. Thank you in advance for your help.<br/>

<t>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
Thank you very much for your response. If I'm not mistaken, in eigenvalue analysis, the 'global response parameter' tab is not available and the 'modal quantities' tab doesn't provide the mode shape information, so how could we know the mode shapes for 1st mode, 2nd mode, etc.? <br ...

Hi,

I would like to ask whether it is possible to get the story mass and mode shape for each story/node in Seismostruct?

Thank you and regards,

Hi,

I also experienced the same problem for the infill panel elements in reinforced concrete frame. Is there any other way to model the infill walls for dynamic analysis?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards,
Marie
