SeismoStruct v5.0-Official release of 01/01/2010SeismoStruct is a Finite Elements package capable of predicting the
large displacement behaviour of space frames under static or dynamic
loading, taking into account both geometric nonlinearities and material
inelasticity. Some of its analytical features are:
7 Analysis Types, such as Pushover Analysis, Nonlinear Dynamic
Analysis, Incremental Dynamic Analysis, Displacement-based Adaptive
Pushover, etc.
8 Element Types, such as nonlinear fibre beam-column element, nonlinear
truss element, nonlinear infill panel element, nonlinear link elements,
etc
11 Material Models, such as nonlinear concrete models, high-strength
nonlinear concrete model, nonlinear steel models, FRP-confined
nonlinear concrete model, SMA nonlinear model, etc
16 hysteretic models, such as linear/bilinear/trilinear kinematic
hardening response models, gap-hook models, soil-structure interaction
model, Takeda model, Ramberg-Osgood model, etc
3 different solvers; Frontal, Skyline Iterative, Gauss-Seidel
In addition, SeismoStruct is also characterised by a number of important usability features, such as:
full integration with the Windows environment. Input data created in
spreadsheet programs, such as Microsoft Excel, may be pasted to the
SeismoStruct input tables, for easier pre-processing. Conversely, all
information visible within the graphical interface of SeismoStruct can
be copied to external software applications (e.g. to word processing
programs, such as Microsoft Word), including input and output data,
high quality graphs, the models' deformed and undeformed shapes and
much more.
with the Wizard facility the user can create regular/irregular 2D or 3D
models and run all types of analyses on the fly. The whole process
takes no more than a few seconds.
real-time plotting of displacement curves and deformed shape of the
structure, together with the ability of pausing and re-starting the
analysis.
deformation-based performance criteria can also be set, allowing the
user to identify the instants at which different performance limit
states (e.g. non-structural damage, structural damage, collapse) are
reached. The sequence of cracking, yielding, failure of members
throughout the structure can also be, in this manner readily obtained.
advanced post-processing facilities, including the ability to
custom-format all derived plots and deformed shapes, thus increasing
productivity of users.
AVI movie files can be created to better illustrate the sequence of structural deformation.
