Dear Sir/Madam
I am new to the Seismostruct software. I am trying to model hybrid damper, which has a locking mechanism. Is there any link element to simulate such behavior. I have already seen theory manual regarding hoop/gap link element, but it doesn't suit my requirement. In my problem, once the target displacement (+/-) achieved in the simulation then locking of device will happened and then after it provides high stiffness even after displacement is less than the target displacement.

Hi maheshbabu,
Unfortunately, there is no such response curve in SeismoStruct. We will keep a note about it in our to-do list with all the future developments
