Local Mechanism Comparison

[usamauet8]

Good evening.
I am working on numerical modelling of RC-SMRF two story frame. I have already drawn the capacity curve using IDA now It is required of me to compare the local mechanism of the numerical model with the test frame. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.
Thank You
Usama.

Although this is an issue better discussed with your supervisor, probably you should make use of the performance criteria capabilities of SeismoStruct to carry out the comparisons. Refer to the manual or the help system for a detailed description of the available performance criteria.
