Asking about Cd/I and drift results shows?
Hi @Robolink
This is an international forum, and members are not expected to know all the abbreviations. Could you tell us what Cd/I means and what regulation it refers to?

In asce 7 16 code it said that the elastic displacement or drift should multiplied by Cd/i where ( Cd = amplification factor and i=importance factor) to be inelastic displacement and drift, but some engineers said that robot structural analysis did that by itself and show the results ( displacement) after it has multiplied it with Cd/i. So is that true?
Hi @Robolink
Yes it's right as in other codes (EC 8 for example)
Take a look at this small exemple, you see Robot that results are multiplied by 5 from Cd=5 and Cd=1.
You can do the same with Cd/I
Cd=1
Cd=5
