Dear seismosoft support,

I have four story three bay steel frame with chevron bracing and I Want perform IDA analysis, in your opinion which material can Simulate low cycle fatigue in braces?
Thank You Very Much

Dear Ali.K

Unfortunatelly, there is not available yet the option of simulating low cycle fatigue in braces.

Please do not open new topic with the same question.

Dear Zoi Gronti

What kind of non-linear materials are available in Seismostruct to be able to simulate the behavior of bracing in nonlinear time history analysis Except low cycle fatigue ?

Thank you very much

Dear Ali.K,

You may consult SeismoStruct User Manual for more information about the available materials in order to choose the one that fits better to your model.
