Greetings
I am conducting an IDA on a multistory and multibay RC frame and the issue that I have is that for relatively larger scale factors, the analysis is terminated after a certain time step. When conducting IDA using smaller scale factors (example 1, 1.25) the analysis is conducted without any issues however when I increase the scale factor (example 3), the analysis is terminated after a certain time. I tried reducing the convergence criteria and I deactivated all the Code-based checks and the Performance criteria since only the nodal displacements are my output of interest, but still to no success. Could anybody help me this issue?
