Hello!

For my graduate work i must to use KAN.EPE (greek codes)so i want to ask you:
1.What stiffnes of elements the programm use ?
2. The diagrams of elements with chord rotation the programm account before analysis or make a check in the end of analysis by final stiffness?

And if it possible to see in ptogramn?

Thank you!

1. In fibre modelling the member stiffnesses are calculated at every step of the analysis based on the material properties. Refer to the manual for a better understanding of the frame element types in SeismoStruct.
2. The chord rotation capacities are calculated at the end of every step of the analysis
