Push Over analysis

[ingeniero_mena]

Hi all.

i need some one to check why the PushOver analysis does not converge.

i have the RSAP 12 with SP5

maybe some details i am missing. it is a 2dimension frame.

Hi Rafal,

can you check my concern about Push Over analysis in the example i attached.?

Hi Angel,

Why do you think it does not converge ?

Hi Rafal,

i forgot one thing. can you put a Hinge and then run again. maybe i am missing some step.

thanks

Take a look at attached model - it converges.

Maybe you mean nonconvergence for eg of case 1 with "Structure Collapse" set - it is correct

1A. The Structure Collapse Criterion

Analysis performs until the divergence of the iterative process is reached.
