You can use the "Dashpot" member type to define a damping coefficient, a spring constant, and a mass. This type of member expands the possibilities within the time history analysis.
With regard to viscoelasticity, the member type "Dashpot" is similar to the Kelvin-Voigt model, which consists of the damping element and an elastic spring (both connected in parallel).
For calculation diagrams, the "2D | Hinge" is available. These hinge diagrams show the hinge response of load situations for nonlinear hinges.
For calculations with several load situations, such as is the case with pushover analyzes and time history analysis, you can evaluate the state of the hinge in each load step.
For line support results, you can optionally display certain additional information in info bubbles, such as description, sum, mean value, and so on.
If necessary, you can activate the info bubbles in the Navigator – Results.
