Response Spectrum Analysis in OpenSees

Post by NikosCV »

Is it possible to perform a Response Spectrum Analysis utilizing a design response spectrum of absolute pseudo-acceleration?

I am working on my thesis and I need to perform a dynamic seismic analysis according to EC8 regulations.

Thank you for your time.

As far as i know there isn't such an ability in OpenSees (unless you make a script of your own...).

Such a script is not that difficult to create. OpenSees is simply a set of tools, one should not expect it to solve every particular problem.
