Hi Huffte,
Thank you for your time. It was helpful. I have not defined any element level damping. I should try changing the link element yield level to monitor the Rayleigh damping effect.

Thank you.

<t>I was running some dynamic time history analyses for bridge column considering elastic frame elements with nonlinear link at bottom. I tried both the tangent and initial stiffness proportional damping options while using Raleigh damping. But unexpectedly both the results provide 100% similar ...

Thank you Huffte,
Your information was helpful.

<t>Hi,<br/>
I want to run pushover analysis in transverse direction of a wall pier that is supposed to be failed in shear because of having very low aspect ratio. Is it anyhow possible to capture the shear dominating failure of the wall pier in Seismostrut. Is any link element available to model ...
