how to see the load magnification "time"

Post by Brave Chen » Thu Apr 21, 2022 3:18 am

Dear STKO team
I'd like to ask you two questions.
Q1:When I use force loading and displacement control, there is a column of "time" in the output file of OPENSEES, that is, the load magnification. So when I use STKO, how do I look at this load magnification?
Q2:Can you tell me how to add uniformly distributed load to a beam in the 2D model, or give me a sectional drawing?Now I can only add point load and displacement load.
Thank you for your reading and look forward to your reply!

It's the same as in OpenSees, look at the pseudo-time. When you export a chart you can ask for the pseudo-time in the X axis
Q2:Can you tell me how to add uniformly distributed load to a beam in the 2D model, or give me a sectional drawing?Now I can only add point load and displacement load.
