Gives the student a good understanding of what common materials that are used by previous researchers, are and how they differ from one another in SeismoStruct.
Gives the student an understanding of how sections are defined in Seismostruct, as they have different parameters from most common commercial software like ETABS, SAFE and SAP2000.
This lecture is going to help you understand what the element classes are and how they help us in developing models in Seismostruct. It also covers a brief introduction to joints.
This class shows how the element connectivity works in Seismostruct and how the axes are understood by Seismostruct. It's very important for later stages of result extraction to avoid any incorrect outputs.
Define Constraints and understand their types. Define restraints at needed points or add permanent loads to the structure.
This lecture is related to the definition of Incremental Loading and Pushover Curves into SeismoStruct. Students will be able to understand how to extract data from Seismostruct into Excel and use to create charts.
Students will understand how to define the Performance Criteria (Yield Strain limit or any other limit) into Seismostruct. Then they can view how the structure behaves and at which members these yield strains are reached.
This video shows how to define stresses and strains in elements. It also shows how to plot them from SeismoStruct to Excel efficiently.
This course is aimed at providing users with the best practical experience of working with SeismoStruct. All videos are captured while working on the software in practice and no slides were used in the tutorial to have users familiarized with how the program looks. Seismostruct works differently than most known modern modeling software like SAP2000, ETABS, and SAFE. It is considered one of the best programs in the academic field of Seismic Analysis. This course is aimed at helping introduce you to the tools you need to understand how SeismoStruct works and how it understands various inputs.
SeismoStruct is a much simpler platform and has a GUI interface that can help seismic researchers develop structural models easily. It is known for its accuracy among researchers and has won awards due to effective and accurate modeling techniques. Mainly, this course is directed towards the people who work in the Seismic Engineering research fields. MSc and Ph.D. alike will benefit from this course if they are required to do some seismic modeling for their thesis. After finishing this course, you'll be able to use SeismoStruct for the modeling of different elements, sections, nodes, and the corresponding results from sample analyses. You'll be able to model simple models that can be used in your relatable research field.
