Modeling base isolated structure

Post by nyangi » Wed Jul 04, 2018 6:32 am

I am a beginner and would like to use this software for my research work. I have a problem on how to model
a two degree of freedom system subjected to ground motion causing an impact to the retaining wall. Can anyone
provide me with the specific reference that can help me build such a model.
