How can i model a sdof system for specific ductility?
For example i want to model a sdof system with mu(ductility)=3, but i don't know what material or element i should use ?

Re: SDOF modeling
You can use zeroLength element and assign to it a uniaxial material that is representative of behavior that you are trying to model. If you want your element to fail at ductility level of 3, MinMax material will do it.
