Hello sir, i am Shivakumar B Patil studying M-tech in structural engineering . I am doing my thesis work on Incremental Dynamic Analysis
I found this software very useful . I have two quarries
1)How to link the software with other applications
2)can I write the macros to genetrate the model, loading , material property
3) Give some examples so that I can handle the software easily

Re: editing of input files
Hi Shivakumar,
1) which applications are you talking about?
2) yes, either by generating automatically the text input file (*.spf) using whatever programming language you like, or by copying&pasting the values from an external application (e.g. Excel)
3) why don't you use the Wizard to create models on-the-fly?

Re: editing of input files
Sir,I sincerely thank you for your valuable reply. I Am Speaking about SeismoStruct software.I want to edit the input text file so that i can apply the Live Load on the structure in UDL. Which cannot be done in the pre-processor mode.Sir even I have tried to cross verify with the single bay portal frame with the text book example with the only dead loads applied I found there is lager variation in the out put member end forces for non-variable static analysis.

Re: editing of input files
Dear Shivakumar, ,
We cannot quite understand what is the relationship between editing the input file and obtaining expected results when applying a distributed load.
In any case, if you are interested in getting accurate internal forces when applying distributed loading, do recall to activate 'Stress Recovery' in the Settings, and reading the Help System Hints & Tips on the topic.
