Is It Possible to conduct Multi Components Incremental Dynamics Analysis in SeismoStruct?

Dear Mehabb,
What exactly do you mean with "Multi-Components"? Have you tried something in SeismoStruct that did not work?

I mean applying two perpendicular components of earthquake simultaneously to base of structure and study global response of it via incremental dynamics analysis.
In help system and in IDA section, an emphasis of X direction is made so I supposed that only uni-directional incremental analysis is possible. Is my last statement true?
Thanks for your reply.

Dear A.M Abbasi,
Yes, of course, you may apply two earthquake components in simultaneous. Did the program give an error when you tried it, or something similar?
