Applying (Tuned Mass Damper) TMD

(OP)
Hi folks,

is it possible in SAP2000 v10 to apply a TMD to a structure. With editable properties for the TMD like damping capacity, mass, springstiffness.

(OP)
Nobody out there who can help me. Thus, can i assume that this possibibility does not exist? It would be really a pitty. It would be enough just to get to know if it works. Please, need help.

RE: Applying (Tuned Mass Damper) TMD

You should be able to model a TMD device with the various nonlinear link elements available in the program, unless you require something very specific.

You can get nonlinear stiffness curves (for a capacity cut-off, hsyteretic behaviour, etc.), damping, and you can also assignment mass and MOI properties to it.
