Fully fixed 3D frame + Time history load (El Centro) =0.006m Absolute displacement at ground joint??
Fully fixed 3D frame + Time history load (El Centro) =0.006m Absolute displacement at ground joint??
(OP)
I am not getting 0 as my absolute displacement for joint 1 in my simple 1-storey 3D frame structure when I apply an earthquake load, rather I am getting 60mm in the U1 direction (the rest are 0).
The frame is fully restrained.
I am new to SAP2000, can somebody please explain what I am doing wrong? Is it wrong?

The relative displacements, deemed just "Displacements" in the table look fine, its just the absolute displacements which is a cause for concern.
thanks again
