Hi again,
When using equivalent static analysis for EQ to AS1170.4, why can't you use the results in a combination with non linearity (ie a non-linear combination, or one that includes non-linear member properties i.e. tension only)?
I'm thinking that the equivalent static analysis does not work correctly for models with non-linear members. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Cheers,
Tony

Hi Tony,
you are right - components from equivalent static analysis are ignored in non-linear combinations :(.
Escalated to dev team. I will notify you after change.

It's important because you obviously need to add the lateral load to the gravity cases. It's a bit useless otherwise.
