Bracing and Element

Post by lee7 »

Hi,

I got two question about seismostruc.

1) can seimostruc design and analysis for bracing for a steel frame?

2) i try to adjust element subdivision for 4 elemnt from 15% to 11% but the no different in the model, the location is still at the 15%. Do i need to do it manually to adjust the percentage?

Thanks

Hi,

1a) SeismoStuct is not a design software, but rather an assessment one.
1b) Yes, SeismoStruct is obviously capable of analysing a braced frame.
2) We have not been able to reproduce the problem you describe; we are able to define without problems a 11% subdivision setting.
