<t>Dear Seismosoft,<br/>
After last messages, I’ve tried other modelling strategies for dissipative bracing system. The possible modelling solutions that I’ve tested on reduced and complete models for dissipative bracings are:<br/>
a) nonlinear truss element;<br/>
b) nonlinear beam-column element ...

Dear SeismoSoft,
I've sent you the working and non-working models at the email address info@seismosoft.com.
Thank you very much for you collaboration and help.

<t>Dear SeismoSoft,<br/>
I'm writing you about unexpected behaviour of truss elements that I've found. I'm modelling a quite large existing r.c. building and I would insert dissipative bracings as seismic retrofit technique.<br/>
At first I've modelled such dissipative bracings using truss elements ...

Dear Seismosoft,
Thank you very much for your suggestion and help.

<t>Dear Seismosoft,<br/>
I've developed a quite large 3D rc frame model very detailed (more than 800 nodes and 2700 elements) and I've performed some nonlinear dynamic analyses using artificial ground motion time-histories.<br/>
In order to perform safety assessment according to international ...

<t>Dear Seismosoft support,<br/>
according to your request, I've just sent you the files of 3d frame models. Some of the problems I've encontered with dmass elements seem to be solved using the last version of your software (v.5.0.4 build 5).<br/>
Thank you very much for your kind help.<br/>
Best ...

<t>Dear Seismosoft,<br/>
I'm developing a quite large rc building model using infrmFB elements and dmass elements to simulate distributed loads. I found some problems from the beginning with permament loads application obtaining such warning message in the Analysis log "Unable to apply the entire ...

<t>Dear SeismoSoft,<br/>
Because I'm working on Nonlinear Dynamic Analysis of a quite large 3D RC building, I need to post-process the analysis results form the text output file. I've seen that such file is organized in subparts listing reaction forces, nodal displcements, frame element forces and ...

The problem was in my pc. I had to format it and after reinstall Seismostruct, that now it works properly.
Thank you very much for your answer and help.

<t>Hi,<br/>
After a Windows XP crash, I had to reinstall SeismoStruct as several other softwares. The installing procedure seemed to run properly but when I launch the software I got this error message "Invalid argument to date encode" and the SeismoStruct window appear modified and unable to work ...
