Good morning guys, im new in this forum, so i hope i do well.
I need to create a calibration model of a wall (layered shell) and for calibration purposes i need to create some joint at certain points of the wall. At those joints i need to assign loads and create a time history input to those joints. What im trying to do is replicate a test from a real wall that i saw in a research paper where a wall specimen where tested with monotonic loads inputs from a jack. So in the time history function i need to replicate this loads but the time axis wilL not actually be time because the loads applied to the specimen where not continous in time. Is there any way to do this in ETABS (i hope i explained myself good enough).
