I am using the Fortran Program Shake 91 to plot acceleration spectra and simulate a ground motion. Looking at charts and tables, my Amax in the input file is .057g. The output file does not generate enough data at that acceleration. If I change my Amax, to .1g and above, I get the output that I am looking for. Suggestions?

Though that depends on which seismic area your design belong to, 0.057g looks to low to me. What you mean by "The output file does not generate enough data at that acceleration"? What parameters are you looking for?
