Hello everyone,

I have formed a simple but large(20storied) steel frame model(line body) in ansys workbench. I have modeled it completely defined all the nonlinear properties like bilinear kinematic hardening ,added mass in it and did a full transient analysis on it but still I dont know how to find the hysteretic energy. There are no plastic strains available in the structure. I have seen made the settings such that all beams results and nodal forces get calculated. Still it wont go plastic deformation. Then I read about the plastic hinge formation but I cant make the element size small. If there is an easier way to find the answer. Please help me.
