Definition of seismic events. The upper table (table of earthquake events) contains the numbers of the seismic events to be considered, and related general parameters. The parameters describing the intensity and direction of the currently selected event are shown in the lower table.
Note: Different response spectra dependent on the damping ratio can be assigned to the considered earthquake event. The input values for specifying the direction, intensity and type of the excitation are only relevant in the first line of the table. Any differing entries in the ensuing lines are ignored. The definition of damping-dependent response spectra allows for assigning in the calculation action RespS different response spectra to the individual modes.
