Field

Contents

RID

RSPEC identification number. Must be unique.

No default (Integer > 0)

DCOMB

Method for directional combination.

ALG - Algebraic
SRSS - Square root of sum of squares

Default = ALG (ALG or SRSS)

MCOMB

Method for modal combination.

ABS - absolute sum
SRSS - square root of sum of squares
CQC - complete quadratic combination
NRL - Navy Research Laboratory’s SRSS

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

Comments

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.
