Push Over analysis definition.

SEISMIC: Push Over Analysis

LSNUM

Number of the Load State file which includes the defined loads that will be increased by the multiplication factor.

LAMBDA

Final value of the multiplication factor.

SUBNUM

Number of substeps that will be generated. For each substep the load will be increased by .

Dir

Vertical axis (gravity direction):

Dir	Description
X	The structure is defined with its vertical parallel to the global X-axis.
Y	The structure is defined with its vertical parallel to the global Y-axis.
Z	The structure is defined with its vertical parallel to the global Z-axis.

Opt

Option label to select the point at which the displacements will be measured to define the Push Over curves.

Opt	Description
NODE	The number of the node will be specified.
LOC	The location of the nearest node will be specified.

VALUE1, VALUE2, VALUE3

Opt	VALUE1	VALUE2	VALUE3
NODE	Node number	Not used	Not used
LOC	X Coordinate	Y Coordinate	Z Coordinate

Notes

- A response spectrum must be defined prior to the push over definition (~DEFSPEC command).

- A modal analysis must be performed prior to the push over definition (~MODLSOL command).
