<t>hello seismosoft<br/>
<br/>
according to your notice i searched buckling for concentric braced frame in forum and i found some user suggest using initial imperfection for this reason, now how can i model initial imperfection for bracing members in compression? and it is a question for me that can ...

<t>i have other questions:<br/>
<br/>
- for braces in CBFF frame which kind of materials is suitable for considering buckling behavior in compression<br/>
<br/>
- which kind of steel materials can consider buckling in x bracing frame? i checked all material but no one can model buckling in ...

<t>quote:For what concerns your suggestion of a general section, as found in other programs, is this not what you can do already with the 'elfrm' element?<br/>
<br/>
thank you , yes it is similar but elfrm is elastic behavior i want to use section which i can consider nonlinear behavior such as ...

<t>hello<br/>

i want to model double angle and double channel shape for brace member in CBF frame, but i can not find suitable option for my desire in sections in seismostruct v6. how can i model this type section for brace member? <br/>
<br/>
seismosoft i have a suggestion for you , it is ...

<t>hello<br/>
<br/>
can seismostruct give Avi format output film for time history analysis?<br/>
<br/>
i want to create movie from happened plastic hinge and deformation motion of structure simultaneously during all steps of nonlinear time history analysis.<br/>
<br/>
please guide me how i can do ...

<t>hello seismosoft<br/>
<br/>
in concrete beams there is initial crack due to service loads such as crack due to deflection under Dead loads and Live loads.for considering reduction of moment of inertia which caused by cracking,it is customary for assigning a modifier coefficient it is commonly o.5 ...

<r>how should i define rigid beam correctly above of concrete shear wall in seismostruct? i not sure but i think i should use link element ,should not i?<br/>
<br/>
could you give me a favor and send me a simple sample file for this reason , because i have confused with working with link element ...

i did this ,but nothing help me neither search on the forum nor using wizard and help in program

good luck

<t>hello<br/>
<br/>
i have problem in defining "FAP" load in program<br/>
<br/>
1.in "applied loading" part ,what should i define?incremental load or permanent load?<br/>
<br/>
2.in "loading phase" part ,what should i define?'adaptive load control' or 'adaptive response control'?<br/>
<br/>
i tested ...

thank you huffte

so what should i do to eliminate this axial force in beams?what is your opinion?i do not know is it correct that axial force exists in beams or not?
because we consider rigid diaphragm in preliminary model .
