Curve Shape:
Specify if the harmonic function is a SINE or COSINE curve.
Frequency or RPM:
Choose Frequency and enter circular frequency in cycles per second or RPM
and enter revolutions per minute.
Amplitude:
Max. Amplitude forcing function in current units.
Phase:
Phase angle in degrees.
Cycles:
No.of cycles of loading.
Step of Sub Div:
Choose the step option to time step of loading SubDiv to sub divide a 1/4
cycle into this many integer time steps.
Spectrum:
Select this Function Option to provide spectrum parameters for your time
history loading.
Time History Parameters Dialog:
Time Step:
Specify a solution time step to be used in the step-by-step integration of the
uncoupled equations.
Damping:
The following options are available for specifying damping:
Damping-this is to be used for specifying a single model damping ratio
which will be applied to all mode. The default value is 0.05.
CDAMP if a damping ratio has already been specified under CONSTANTS
based on the type of material in the structure, the value may be used
directly in time history analysis. Check this option for that purpose.
MDAMP we wish to utilise individual damping ratios for individual modes,
that is achieved through the means of the MDAMP option. The first step to
doing this is the specification of those individual damping ratios, as
explained under section 5.26 .3 of the STAAD technical reference manual and
is done graphically from the command-define damping menu. If this first step
has been completed, the instruction to utilise MDAMP done by selecting this
option shown above.
Arrival time:
Specify values of possible arrival times of the various dynamic load types.
The arrival time is the time at which the load type begins to act at a joint or
at the base of the structure. The same load may have different arrival times
for different joint and hence all these values must be specified here. The
arrival time and time force pairs for the load types are used to create the load vector
needed for each time step of the analysis.
