about 1.5 meter displacement in vertical direction!!?

Post by ebe79442114 »

my model is like to below :

10 story building that lies on the base plate and base plate lies on the soil (The display of tk has an error, I constraint base plate and soil nodes). When I add load pattern for structure or base plate, top node of structure or base plate nodes have about 1.5 meter displacement in vertical direction.

My code is (ssi.tcl):

Questions:

1- why analyze shows about 1.5 meter displacement in vertical direction?
2- Is the sequence of input command line true?
3- In burry analyze, display output of TK is true but in surface analyze it's not true?
4- In the initial of surface analyze, acceleration is very high, but in burry analyze it's not. Why?

5- Can or Should I use py simple elements between soil and base plate?

The question 4 is more essential for me.

Surface analyze all files include input,output and pictures:
