Dynamic seismic calculation

The principles of how SCIA Engineer deals with a structure subject to a seismic load are given in chapters:

• Loads > Load types > Dynamic loads > Seismic load

• Loads > Load cases > Dynamic load cases > Defining the seismic load case

And the core of dynamic calculations is laid down in:

• Loads > Load cases > Dynamic load cases > Dynamic load cases

• Loads > Load cases > Dynamic load cases > Defining a new dynamic load case

Information about automatically generated combinations according code are here:

• Seismic combination according EN code

• Seismic combination according IBC code

Information about several seismic spectrums are here:

• Defining a seismic response spectrum

Information about various aspects of the seismic analysis of buildings is available here:

• Seismic Analysis of Buildings

Information about theoretical background, modelization & troubleshooting of dynamic analysis

• Dynamic analysis troubleshooting
