<t>Dear all,<br/>
<br/>
I am running an IDA analysis to find response of a shear wall of 4 stories. <br/>
<br/>
By a pushover analysis previously i found the yield moment of this wall was only 400 kN.m .<br/>
<br/>
However in the IDA, the wall is taking moments well ahead of its yield point. It ...

<t>Dear all,<br/>
<br/>
I am trying to get inelastic constant ductility spectra for some accelerograms. It always is the case, that the ductility response history and elastic response history differ in the end of the response. <br/>
<br/>
ie my elastic history returns to zero in the end, while the ...

<t>Dear all,<br/>
<br/>
I have a problem of having a shear wall, where i'm told to find the strains due to shear component at its base, when subjected to a time history.<br/>
<br/>
If i am using an inelastic Force based element to model the walls, could there be a way of only separating the shear ...

<t>Dear Seismosoft,<br/>
<br/>
I am having the oft encountered convergence problem in the following manner of detail - <br/>
I am modelling a 2 bay 2 storied structure and subjecting it to timehistory as well as pushover analysis. Say in pushover analysis, it always diverges at load step 76.XXX. <br ...
