Dear Seismostruct!

I have a question about Performance criteria. I would like to know, that SeismoStruct is capable or not to calculate the "curve multiplier" (at "Applied Loading"), with I can reach the near collapse state.
For example: My column bearing capacity exhaust at M=110kNm, and I have the "Hollister" curve. Now I have to iterate always with this "curve multiplier" to calculate with which value can I reach this exact 110kNm.

So my question is: Is there any possibility to do this autoamtic in program, or I have to iterate always manual?

Thank You in advance!

If I understood correctly, you try to reach the maximum capacity of the column while running dynamic analysis. Indeed, there is no automatic way to determine the target curve multiplier. However, you can use the Incremental Dynamic Analysis to run multiple dynamic analyses and get the results of the most suitable analysis for your case.
