hi all
I need to do 2 satage pushover.
at the first stage, I want to push my building up to : alpha1 * Dt (displacement target)
then, I push my model to : alpha2 * Dt
but, It is noted that the initial condition in the second stage of the two-stage
pushover analysis is the same as the state at the last step of analysis in the first stage.
2 stages pushover

Re: 2 stages pushover
Hi
you can use "loadConst -time 0.0" command after the first stage, and then do the second pushover.
