Time history Analysis problem

Post by hoseindnn »

hi all
i have a very simple 2 Bay 1 story frame and i want perform a time history analysis.
when analysis is running in deformed shape windows i see middle column moving left and right and other elements not moving.

is it a problem ? because the model is very simple.

the graphics is something that is not really supported .. if all elements are the same type and one is moving and rest are not it might indicate that the others are not actually mving, have you checked the node displacements. if one element is moving and it is of a different type than the rest it might mean that the other elements do not have the methods implemeneted correctly.
