i need to do time history analysis with sap2000 for ballroom vibration analysis. can anyone help me? thanks.
 
Define and assign static load, joint load or area distributed load, then use the Define menu again to define a time history function, likely a sinusoidal type function, then define load case (or 'analysis case' if you have an older version) add a new case for time history, then apply the TH sine function to the static load
 
If it's not too late, please do yourself a favor and hire a vibe specialist to do this. There is a lot involved in such an analysis
