Technical Article: Using Nonlinearities in Response Spectrum Analysis in RFEM 6

Both the determination of natural vibrations and the response spectrum analysis are always performed on a linear system. 🔩

If nonlinearities exist in the system, they are linearized and thus not taken into account. These can be, for example, tension members, nonlinear supports, or nonlinear hinges.

In this article, we show how you can handle them in a dynamic analysis. 💡
