Topic: modeling cyclic loads and calculation procedure

Hi!

My name is Stefan. I'm a student from Germany.

My task in the near future should be to modelize a real experiment with a brick wall under a cyclic load.
As you can figure out it is about earthquake engineering.

My questions are:

1) Is it possible to modelize cyclic loads with Atena?

2) Is it calculated implicit or explicit?

Thank you very much!

Stefan

Yes, ATENA can model cyclic loads.

2) Is it calculated implicit or explicit?

Only Implicit.
