Hi everyone,
I did an incremental dynamic analysis of a 4-Story steel frame, but for scale factors of 0.4 and above some of the records, relocation of the support in deformed shape post-processor is observed. Is this normal? The supports are fixed and all members are infrmDB. (I changed the members to the infrmFB, but there is still a relocation of the support.)
Relocation of the support

Dear aliisaberiiii,
Have you selected the "Restrain All" restraint type for all the support nodes? If yes, could you please send me your model at z.gronti@seismosoft.com to check it?

yes I did. I sent you the files. Thanks a lot
Re: Relocation of the support
Dear aliisaberiiii,
If I understand correctly, with the term "relocation" you are referring to the absolute displacement values of the support nodes. This is absolutely reasonable. You should just think how the dynamic time-history analysis applies to a building. We usually, however, check the relative displacement with base node one of the support nodes.
