PROBLEM OUTPUT TIME HISTORY ANALYSIS IN SAP2K

PROBLEM OUTPUT TIME HISTORY ANALYSIS IN SAP2K

PROBLEM OUTPUT TIME HISTORY ANALYSIS IN SAP2K

(OP)
When analysing a structure with a time history, SAP2k does not show any output. No stresses or displacements caused by the time history (earthquake, elcentro) can be shown. However a response spectra analysis does give output. Also using timehistory traces, displacements of joints can be found. Please can someone help me with this problem. I really need the timehistory analysis.
 

RE: PROBLEM OUTPUT TIME HISTORY ANALYSIS IN SAP2K

Hi,
uing timehistory traces you can get also forces or stresses using 'Define function' button on timehistory traces dialog box, and select 'Add Joint Disp/Forces' or 'Add element Forces'.
