Implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D.
The dynamic analysis method (spectral modal) or static analysis method (equivalent lateral force) proposed by the CHOC-08 can be selected in both programs. The analysis method (dynamic or static) can be selected using the Analysis method option in the dialogue box in which the seismic action is defined.
When the seismic design is carried out using the dynamic analysis method (modal spectral), CYPECAD considers the correction due to base shear.
