SDOF system ?
is modal pushover meaningful for it?

use truss element with steel01 material for stiffness
kt

so...
Can you tell me how to simplify truss model into SDOF system and necessite to use modal pushover?

Here is an example of pushover analysis on a cantilever column: http://opensees.berkeley.edu/wiki/index ... ver_Column

i mean when i do pushover analysis for mode 1 (S1=M Q1 (Q1=MODE SHAPE , M= MASS ) after that i obtained pushover curve i must obtain sdof properties from pushover curve from the chopra equtions , and after that i shoud model sdof in opensees with nonlinear properties , and i should do nonlinear time history analysis , how i model sdof and how i assign nonlinear properties to it ?

I believe you could use the same model for both nonlinear static analysis and dynamics analysis.
