Some output files in BuildingTcl1.5

Post by khalil Ahmad »

Hi,

How can I obtain these results in outputs:


• Natural vibration time periods of several modes
• Damage indices
• Plastic hinges (or Plastic nodes of model)
• Equivalent damping of several modes
• Story stiffness

I would appriciate your cooperation in advance
Thanks

i don't have that phase done on it, but these are good ideas.

the opensees screen gives you the first 3 period of vibration, that's what i have.

for the rest, you might have to do some post-processing.
