3 questions about eigen analysis

Post by stefania »

The values of the eigenvectors that I obtain are already normalized? And respect to what?
Can I do an eigen analysis during a complete pushover analysis?

Hi Stefania.
Well:
1)no, they are not;
2)you have to do a simple script to normalize the eigenvectors (see the sripts posted by silvia on eigen-analysis);
3)there's an adaptive pushover in the air,isn't there? So, yes, you can get eigenvectors on every step of analysis, just do it proceding step by step with 'analyize 1' (a short script on this can be useful)

Hope this can be useful!
