viscous damper with pushover analyses

[ameri]

hi
i want to model SAC structures with viscous damper with pushover analysis and comparison results with IDA
How can i do modeling viscous damper with pushover analysis?

A forum search on 'viscous damper' should get enough hits to get you started.

While you can absolutely implement Pushover analysis on frames with dampers in SStruct, the below paper should give you a good idea on the procedure of implementing it.

However, bear in mind that pushover analysis may not successfully take into account the contributory effect of added dampers.
