Hi,
I would like to know How can I obtain the permanent drift on Seismostruct? Is there a tool to find this drift?

Best Regard,
Andre Tenchini

Hi Andre.

I'm not certain to which type of analysis you are referring. But if it is time history analysis, then you should be able to plot your structural displacements in the post-processor and see the displacement values at the end of each loading stage. This would give a good estimation of permanent drift, or residual displacement.

I hope this helps a bit.
