Hello,
I want to apply earthquake loading to soil model using uniform excitation command. But, from this command, we can only obtain relative values in the results. Is there anyway to obtain the absolute values?
Thank you very much

You will have to use multiple support excitation: https://portwooddigital.com/2021/08/29/ ... xcitation/

Thank you very much.
In the uniform excitation pattern, the relative values obtained from all nodes are relative to the base node results ?

Re: relative values in UniformExcitation
Dear professor Scott,
I would b really grateful if you could help me with this issue.
When we use uniform excitation, the values for disp, vel and accel are relative. However, if we use acceleration timeseries we can use the following command to obtain absolute values:
" recorder Node -file accel$record.out -timeSeries 1 -node 2 -dof 1 accel"
In this condition, is there anyway we can obtain the absolute values for displacements? should we define new timeseries to be added to the relative values using the upper command?
Thank you very much
