Hello everyone,
I am looking to generate some response spectra for some MDOF models on Femap.
As of now, I have been using Transient Dynamic/Time History Analysis and then exporting the accelerations at the desired node to create a floor response spectrum using my own Matlab code. However, I would like to streamline this process. I have followed the native Femap help in the program for response spectrum generation down to every detail but I am certain that either I am not doing it right, or that it is wrong.
I am also aware of the procedure for creating response spectra using NASTRAN, but I would like to be able to use the interface of Femap.
Has anyone had any success with generating response spectrum solely using Femap?
Thanks to anyone that answered. I appreciate your time and effort.
Best,
Jeff
