You can download this structural model to use it for training purposes or for your projects. However, we do not assume any guarantee or liability for the accuracy or completeness of the model.
In the Modal Analysis add-on, you have the option to automatically increase the sought eigenvalues until reaching a defined effective modal mass factor. All translational directions activated as masses for the modal analysis are taken into account.
Thus, it is possible to easily calculate the required 90% of the effective modal mass for the response spectrum method.
The Time History Analysis add-on provides you with accelerograms for the calculation. This extension allows for dynamic structural analysis of the acceleration-time diagrams.
There is an extensive library of earthquake records available for you, but you can also enter or import your own diagrams. The time history analysis is performed using the modal analysis or the linear implicit Newmark analysis.
The member hinge nonlinearity "Scaffolding N | phiy,phiz" allows you to simulate an inserted scaffolding tube joint.
Create guidelines with or without a description for the display of a building grid! You can lock the guideline position to prevent accidental movement of them, for example.
Furthermore, you can glue the guidelines to nodes in order to move the glued nodes as well. That makes your work a lot easier!
