how to use this software to do Incremental dynamic analysis?

[zhmkitten]

Hi ,
I am learning the opensees. I just want to know how to use it to do IDA.
Would you give me some help? Thank you for reply!

NEES-R?

[fmk]

put the model and analysis inside a forach loop where the loop variable is the factor on the motion.

sorry ,I am not NEES-R

[silvia]

it's okey.
i just need to know who is.

IDA analysis is a new method that can be done with any finite element program. You just have to make your model, and then run some nonlinear dynamic analysis with different scales. for more information you can read vamvatsikos's phd thesis which was about IDA in stanford university.
