Also,
can i model a blasting load time history using Seismostruc?
thank you

Yes you can model a progressive collapse by using the element deactivate feature in non-linear time-history analysis.
Similarly, you can model a blast loading in non-linear time-history analysis, by applying a time-dependent load for a small amout of time at the beginning.

Dear SeismoSoft support team
I have searched for the element deactivate feature in the software, and I can not find it. Will you please address the location of the related icons within the software.

This can be determined by the activation and deactivation time (or LF) that can be defined for each element separately in the Element Connectivity module.
