I'm currently doing a nonlinear model in Perform3D and I need to calculate the mode shape. I create the structure first in ETABS and import it on Perform3D but I noticed that there's a difference in the modal mass participation ratio. Therefore, I know that the story response plot that I extracted in ETABS is different from the Perform3D.
Now I don't know where to extract that data. Can anyone help me with this? For research purposes only.
Thank you.
Perform3D is a finite element analysis software primarily used for structural engineering and earthquake engineering applications. It is not designed to extract story response plots for a story in a narrative sense.
If you are looking to extract story response plots in a narrative sense, you may want to consider using a different tool or software, such as a data visualization software or a graphing tool that is designed for this purpose.
However, if you are referring to extracting structural response plots in Perform3D, you can follow the steps below:
Open the Perform3D software and create a new project or open an existing one.
Define the model geometry, material properties, and loads.
Run the analysis by clicking on the “Analyze” button.
Once the analysis is complete, go to the “Results” tab and select the desired output type, such as story drift or story shear.
Select the story or floor for which you want to extract the response plot.
Choose the appropriate output format, such as a graph or table.
Export or save the output as desired.
It is important to note that the specific steps and options may vary depending on the version of Perform3D and the specific analysis being performed. It is recommended to consult the software documentation or seek assistance from a qualified engineer or software support personnel.
