SSI STKO Performance

[Zouatine]

Dear All,

I hope this message finds you well.

I am considering using STKO to conduct a 3D soil-structure interaction (SSI) analysis, including soil non-linearity, with the aim of comprehensively capturing the SSI phenomena. My question is: does STKO provide the necessary modeling tools to perform such analyses? Additionally, how does it compare to other software like LS-Dyna or Plaxis in terms of capabilities?

I also plan to carry out this study in the frequency domain. Would it be possible to achieve this using STKO?

Thank you all in advance!

It does, but if you need something specific you may want to check our webinars to understand the workflow, and the OpeNSees documentation to understand what are the elements/Material formulations available for geotech analyses

I also plan to carry out this study in the frequency domain. Would it be possible to achieve this using STKO?

Not possible in OpenSees
