Equivalent static analysis.

Anonymous — Tue, 25 Sep 2012 01:15:28 GMT

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.

Thanks

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

Robot 2103?

I will be doing spectral analysis by telepathy by then 😛
