Combining Participation factors
Combining Participation factors
(OP)
To All,
After running a modal analysis in ANSYS, you get participation factors in all DOFs. Can you combine these directional participation factor by SRSS and get a one value.
Thanks in advance

RE: Combining Participation factors
According to the theory, the total participation factor is the sum of all directional participation factors for a given mode. So no SRSS is needed.
I recommend you to read the tutorial at
htt
It shows how participation factors are computed using a simple example.
