Nonlinear Time History Analysis

Full nonlinear behavior may be considered in a time-history analysis using direct integration. P-delta effects,large-displacements, and material nonlinearity areavailable. Arbitrary loading may be applied. Applicationsinclude seismic loading, dynamic pushover, andinstability analysis. Most commonly used implicitintegration schemes are available, as well as high-speedexplicit integration for wave propagation, blast, andcollapse problems. Nonlinear direct-integration time-history analysis cases can be chained together with othernonlinear time-history or static cases (including stagedconstruction), to address a wide range of applications.

Power Spectral Density Analysis

Power-spectral-density analysis is available to determinethe probabilistic response of a structure due to cyclic(harmonic, sinusoidal) loading over a range offrequencies. This is useful for fatigue studies, randomresponse due to earthquakes, and other applications.Multiple loads may be applied at different phase angles,and may be correlated or uncorrelated. The structuremay be damped or undamped. Frequency-dependentstiffness and damping (complex impedance) propertiesmay be included for modeling foundations and far-fieldeffects, including radiation damping. Power-spectral-density curves may be plotted for any response quantity,and the integrated expected value is automaticallycomputed.
