Define Solution Control tab
Used to define the limit of the pushover analysis by either limiting base shear or displacement at a control joint.
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Push Up to Defined Base Shear |
Set this option to limit the analysis by force. The pushover analysis will continue until the cumulative base shear is less than or equal to the base shear specified by this command or the structure has additional strength. |
| Direction |
Select the global direction of base shear for this solution control. |
| Defined Base Shear |
Specify a target base shear value, in current units of force. |
| Push Up to Defined Displacement at Control Joint |
Set this option to limit the analysis by displacement. The pushover analysis will continue until the displacement at the specified joint at the specified direction exceeds specified displacement. |
| Direction |
Select the global direction of displacement for this solution control. |
| Joint Displacement Value |
Specify a target displacement value, in current units of length. |
| Joint Number |
Select the control joint from the list of nodes. |
