The "Time History Analysis" add-on allows you to perform dynamic structural analysis of external excitation. You can define various excitation functions in tables or as a function of time.
The main features of the "Time History Analysis" add-on are:
- Combination of user-defined time diagrams with nodal, member, and surface loads, as well as free and generated loads
- Combination of several independent excitation functions
- Design method using a linear implicit Newmark analysis or a modal analysis
- Structural damping using Raleigh damping coefficients or the Lehr's damping value
- Graphical display of results in calculation diagrams
- Result display in time steps or as an envelope over the entire time period
