I'm so confused bcz the result'll be changed when I change the scaling. which the higher scaling factor the model will be collapsed.

dear sir, can you explain this scaling factor, I took the ground motion from ngawest2.berkeley.edu website. and I don't know how to get this scaling factor to fill in the model. When you said ''ground motions can be scaled differently'' , it means that the interval impacts of GM are different which different scaling or something? the GM that I took from that website is not changed, right?

bro, I don't know how to solve your problem, but can I ask you that how can you get the scaling factor (0.25 and 0.15) in X, Y direction? I wanna add the ground motion from the NGA.west website but I don't know how and where I can get this scaling factor value. thank you.

hello Sir, I'm using the reinforcing steel in my model, and also get the same error. Could you tell more information that this material has bugs, please?
Large trial compressive strain
UniaxialMaterial::setTrial() - material failed in setTrialStrain()
thank you so much.
