Complementary Analyses
When conducting a Nonlinear analysis, users have the option of obtaining the site response results using the Equivalent Linear method automatically. This can be done by using the Complementary analyses option and turning on Equivalent Linear – Frequency Domain.
It is highly recommended that Equivalent Linear results are always examined whenever a Nonlinear analysis is conducted.
Analysis tag
Analysis tags are identifiers that are included in the analysis results to help users identify the kind of soil model analysis that RSSeismic performed. The table below summarizes all the available options. You can also view this table in RRSeismic by clicking on the Info icon next to the Analysis tag ID.
