Nonlin 7.14

In many cases, it is possible to obtain basic but very valuable information about the possible performance of that structure by performing a simple analysis on a system with an equivalent degree of freedom from the building under investigation.

For this purpose, you can use the very useful Nonlin software.

Among the features of this software, the following can be mentioned:

• Considering nonlinear behavior by considering bilinear behavior
• Ability to perform linear and non-linear analysis
• Consideration of damping
  
• The possibility of loading in the form of earthquake input acceleration, free vibration or arbitrary load definition
• Showing the history and spectrum of earthquake acceleration, speed and displacement
• Display of hysteretic behavior and amount of wasted energy
• Showing the amount of wasted energy through different sources such as hysteretic behavior, inherent damping and…
• Displaying the behavior of the one-degree-of-freedom system as an animation during the loading period
