Hi,

Dear prof, Dr, Sir/madam

As shown in the attached pics, I am using Abaqus for modeling a RC frame braced by steel damper. I applied a (55) lateral cyclic displacements amplitude steps on the frame. The problem which happened is the steel plate reach its ultimate strength at step (22) while I need to get the results of whole steps to compare it with my experimental cyclic curves and get validation.

Is there a way to make the software complete that analysis to the end?

Thanks
