Eigenvalue analysis for frame structures with cladding panel

Post by andrett7 » Wed Feb 18, 2015 11:53 pm

Dear all,

i want to perform different nonlinear analyses on a frame structure with lots of cladding panels, so i need to perform an eigenvalue analysis. The masses are not distributed but simply concentrated on the top of the columns (5) but still the eigenvalue analysis is quite long. Is there a possibility to to speed up the process?

Thanks in advance.

Andrea

not unless you make the frame model a stick model.

Ok, I will wait the structural response.

Thanks,
