Dear Colleague
Would you please guide me how Seismostruct transform forces in gauss point to global forces in the ends of element in fiber elements approach?

Dear ag110,

This is quite an articulated issue, which can certainly not be explained through an exchange of Forum posts. It is also not really something directly related to the use of SeismoStruct, but rather a question on Finite Elements theory.

We thus advise you rather to read some of the bibliography indicated in the Help System/User Manual of our software, e.g. Filippou & Fenves (2004) or Correia & Virtuoso (2006), and/or enroll in a course dedicated to the theory of Finite Elements Analysis.

Best of luck with your studies,

Seismosoft Support
