Hello, I am using mander conc. model and pinto steel model while doing the pushover analysis rc frame structure . (i.e i am apllying monotonic load on structure) but while giving the parameters in seismostruct for mander and pinto steel model it is showing in cyclic in nature of stress and strain diag.but i am not giving any cyclic load so how it is showing CYCLIC LOOP?? anyone would you help me??
Thanks

The plot in the Material module is indicative, and its purpose is to show the materials parameters and the shapes of its hysteretic loop. If you input in the table a monotonic load the curve will also be monotonic.

sir I selected static pushover analysis so after that in material module i defined 5 properties of concrete but in stress strain diag. it is showing in cyclic loop .. how it is possible?? THAT means it should show the standard stress strain diag. for confined and unconfined purpose.

In the Stress Strain dialog of thr Output module or in the Materials Module?
We stress again that the stress-strain plot in the Materials Module is INDICATIVE.
