RID |
RSPEC identification number. Must be unique. No default (Integer > 0) |
DCOMB |
Method for directional combination. ALG - Algebraic Default = ALG (ALG or SRSS) |
MCOMB |
Method for modal combination. ABS - absolute sum Default = ABS (ABS, SRSS, CQC, or NRL) |
CLOSE |
Modal frequency closeness parameter. Default = 1.0 (Real) |
DTISPECi |
Response spectrum reference. A DTI,SPECSEL entry identification number. No default (Integer > 0) |
SCALEi |
Scale factor for excitation. No default (Real <> 0.0) |
Xij |
Components of a vector representing ground excitation i, j = 1..3 |
1. | DTISPEC2/SCALE2/X21/X22/X23 and DTISPEC3/SCALE3/X31/X32/X33 are optional ground excitations for multi-directional excitation. The directions of excitation have to be orthogonal to each other and will be reported as error otherwise. |
2. | Refer to Response Spectrum Analysis in the User’s Guide for more details. |
