Hi djf,

  If you're referring to using Frame Analysis in AIP, it doesn't have any time-dependent functionality, or take into account wind shear or seismic loading.  It is for static stress only.

  Autodesk Robot Structural has these, and Autodesk Mechanical Simulation can handle many of these types of cases.  You can download free trial versions:
