Hello fmk I have a 3-span bridge model. As I rotate the ground motion or change the ground motion time history, I have convergence problem in some cases. I decided to try Explicit Newmark Method because I couldn't get the convergence no matter how much I decreased the time step. By knowing the numbe...
