Non-Structural Elements

Hi Seismosoft,

Is it possible to model non-structural elements, i.e. pipe hangers, hospital beds, overhead watertanks, in order to know it's contribution to the amplification factor of acceleration?

Dear rbsce.ph,

You may assign the additional loads for non-structural elements as nodal/element distributed loads or as lumped/distributed masses.
