Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures.
Implemented in CYPECAD and Metal 3D.
Users can choose to CYPECAD carry out the dynamic analysis (modal spectral) or static analysis (equivalent lateral force) proposed by the ASCE 7-10 design code. The analysis method (dynamic or static) is selected using the Analysis method option within the dialogue box where seismic action is defined.
When the dynamic analysis (modal spectral) method is used, CYPECAD takes into account the correction due to base shear.
