    This document describes performing a time history analysis in STAAD.Pro. Key steps include: 1) Defining the model geometry, properties, and supports for a 3D frame building model. 2) Applying static loads and defining a time history load from an external EQ data file to model seismic loading. 3) Defining load combinations and performing the modal, time history, and response spectrum analyses. 4) Post-processing the results to view mode shapes, time histories of displacement and acceleration at nodes, and maximum member forces.

    ADVANCED TIME HISTORY ANALYSIS METHOD

    Time History Analysis

    Time history analysis is an advanced method of dynamic analysis. It has an ability to


    incorporate harmonic forcing functions that can be described by sinusoidal curves with
    a specified arrival time, frequency, amplitude and duration.

    Define Time History Dialog:

    Used to define the Forcing Function of a time varying load.

    Click Commands Loading Definitions Time History Forcing Functions is


    selected or The Add button is clicked in the Load & Definition dialog found on the
    General | Load & Definition page.
    Integration Time Step:

    Solution time step used in the step-by-step integration of the uncoupled equations.

    Type:

    This refers to the number of the type of functions.

    Loading type:

    Select the Acceleration, Force or Moment option to define the type of functions being
    input.

    Save:

    Select this option to create an external file containing the history of displacements of
    every node of the structure at every time step.

    Function Options:

    Define Time VS <loading type>

    Used to specify a time history forcing function, where the loading type is that selected
    above. Specify the values Time and corresponding Force or Acceleration. The time
    history function is plotted on the bottom of the dialog as data pairs are entered.

    Harmonic:
    Curve Shape:

    Specify if the harmonic function is a SINE or COSINE curve.

    Frequency or RPM:

    Choose Frequency and enter circular frequency in cycles per second or RPM and enter
    revolutions per minute.

    Amplitude:

    Max. Amplitude forcing function in current units.

    Phase:

    Phase angle in degrees.

    Cycles:

    No.of cycles of loading.

    Step of Sub Div:

    Choose the step option to time step of loading SubDiv to sub divide a 1/4 cycle into this
    many integer time steps.

    Spectrum:

    Select this Function Option to provide spectrum parameters for your time history
    loading.

    Time History Parameters Dialog:


    Time Step:

    Specify a solution time step to be used in the step-by-step integration of the uncoupled
    equations.

    Damping:

    The following options are available for specifying damping:

    Damping-this is to be used for specifying a single model damping ratio which will be
    applied to all mode. The default value is 0.05.

    CDAMP if a damping ratio has already been specified under CONSTANTS based on
    the type of material in the structure, the value may be used directly in time history
    analysis. Check this option for that purpose.

    MDAMP we wish to utilise individual damping ratios for individual modes, that is
    achieved through the means of the MDAMP option. The first step to doing this is the
    specification of those individual damping ratios, as explained under section 5.26 .3 of
    the STAAD technical reference manual and is done graphically from the command-
    define damping menu. If this first step has been completed, the instruction to utilise
    MDAMP done by selecting this option shown above.

    Arrival time:

    Specify values of possible arrival times of the various dynamic load types. The arrival
    time is the time at which the load type begins to act at a joint or at the base of the
    structure. The same load may have different arrival times for different joint and hence
    all these values must be specified here. The arrival time and time force pairs for the load
    types are used to create the load vector needed for each time step of the analysis.
