Plastic Hinge Animation Result
Posted: 31 Dec 2018, 10:53
Hi,
I am a new user of both Seismobuild and Seismosoft just downloaded it today.
I am quite familiar with the Performance Based Design Methodology using Perform 3D software and Midas Gen amd I would say that Perform 3Dis very powerful when it comes to Nonlinear Time History Analysis for tall buildings. Its pre and post processing are very tedious and terribly not user freindly. This is the very reason why we are trying out Seismostruct to compare its capabilities with Perform 3D.
Let me start my question with Seismobuild.
1. Does Seismobuild be able to show the animation of plastic hinge result with color coding on the status of the hinge as per ASCE 41?
2. Does Seismobuild has built in nonlinear link to model retrofit opitions like base isolator, dampers or BRB etc?
3. Does Seismobuild do full blown Nonlinear Time HIstory Analysis since for tall building design as per PEER TBI Guidelines 2017, LATBSDC 2017 or CTUBH 2017 Guidelines all require that the analysis must be done using NOnlinear Time History Analysis. Pushover is not permitted.
I will more questions to follow.
Thank you and best regards
