    Total Computing Power

    I noticed that Autopipe uses a limited amount of computer power. In a time-history analysis with a modal frequency of 400hz on a relatively small model it took about 30min using only 6 to 9% of the computer's processing power. An improvement in pr...

    100-40-40 spatial combination option

    In Response Spectra Analysis, the spatial combination is always SRSS. The NRG 1.92 rev. 2 accepts as an alternative the use of the 100-40-40 method, as proposed by Newmark, to spatially combine the components. An option to select between SRSS or 1...

    A need to track displacements of reference points?

    how to track displacements of reference points? I understand that reference points are only used to track forces and moments but i want to see separately the displacement results of these reference points instead of manually searching node by node...
