Thank you. I have another question, I want to check the displacements values for four different points in the structure for each mode when i do the modal analysis. So, check the displacements for 4 different points in each mode (there are 10). I can't see a way to this easily. How do I do this? Dea...

Dear LucasNabais, If you use the Building Modeller facility to create your model, you may select the slab and check its support conditions and its edges at its properties window. In case you use SeismoStruct main program to create your model, you should check if the columns' nodes are included in th...

Dear fsapostolou,

If you export the Report of your model in SeismoBuild, you will get the values for dt*, det* and dt which is equal to Γdt*, as it is written in SeismoBuild's User Manual and Help System.

Dear fsapostolou, The member's forces affect the shear capacity of a wall member, as you may see in the equation used for the calculation of the shear capacity, available in SeismoBuild's Help System and User Manual. Different analysis result in different member forces, hence result in different she...

Dear zhangjun, You should connect the infill to the same nodes with the adjacent columns and beams. You may also assign Horizontal and Vertical offsets to account for the depth of the frame members. You may read the SeismoStruct's User Manual or Help System for further details. You may find models w...

Dear obaidullah khan

As it is written in SeismoStruct's User Manual: "Masonry spandrel section - mss. This is a section frequently adopted for the modelling of coupling beams between two wall elements.".

Dear minhajulBP, In the Modelling Parameters module of each member you import to the Building Modeller, you may modify the material models used for the specific member, concrete and steel models may be selected. The default option may be modified and it is the one selected in the Advanced Building M...

Dear fernnie_gae,

There are no automatic checks for infill walls available in the current release of SeismoBuild.
In order to check things, go to the post-processor and extract the element results for the infills (Infill Panel Forces & Infill Panel Deformations).

Dear ESTRUCTO, In the material properties, the lower-bound strength and the mean strength are available. The mean strength is the result of the multiplication of the lower-bound strength with the factors you mentioned. In the Code-based checks, the values required by ASCE 41 are used, i.e. the mean ...
