3d pushover

Post by faroq »

hello every body
I have a problem
I have a 3D model of t-shape shear wall under multidirectional displacement.For pushover analyze i want to apply two displacement protocol simultaneously in my model.one in y-direction and other in z-direction(z-axe perpendicular to y-axe)
Is this possible?

if you mean you want to impose 2 sets of motions at the wall acting in 2 different directions then yes you can using a multi-support exciatations, 1 acting in each dirn.

if you want instead to determine load factors to impose on 2 patterns with loads acting in 2 directions (i.e. some type of displcacement control) then no you cannot
