seismic mass

Post by newman »

Is there any way to assign the seismic mass (Dead+0.2Load) to calculate the seismic masses to the structure, while, the loading is based on dead+Live?
In building modeler, I was define dead and live separately, because my considered load was based on dead+live. But I was trouble to define the seismic mass based on dead+0.2 live...
I think that there is no way for that and I only can define the mass (lmass or dmass) element without refers to the applied loads. Am I right?

Dear newman,

I think that you have asked the first question again and has already been answered in the topic below:

You may employ mass elements and make the proper modifications in the 'Gravity & Mass' tab of the Project Settings to assign different combination for mass and gravity loads.
