multiple target displacements

Post by arash1985us » Sun Jan 03, 2010 12:21 am

Hi,
I want to know how I can push a structure to multiple target displacements.For example,when I have a 5 story structure,I have 5 target displacement for each story.How should I limit each story to a specified target displacement in the case that with changing the direction of lateral load that node doesn't go back again and remain in that situation??

you have to play around with imposing displacements with the sp command.
