Dear sir/maddam
Thank you for your user friendly structural analysis software.
it will be of great thanks ,if help me know whether in forthcoming version of the Seismostruct there will be an option to define viscous dampers exclusively or not may provide directions for building simple model of these elements in cuurent version of the software.

best regards

Dear Payman,

Thank you for your kind words. Currently, there are no plans to introduce frequency-dependent viscous damping elements. We thus advise you to use a link element with an appropriately calibrated response curve to model the effect that the viscous dampers will have on the structure you are analysing.

Kind regards,
