This approach is similar to the way gravity is introduced in the model but we can specify the magnitude and also the direction (i.e. In this approach we apply a constant and uniform acceleration to all the mass in the model.

full dynamic (time-history) calculationДЄ pseudo static approach is a strongly simplified approach of an earthquake situation.

In relation to water pressures in a dynamic calculation we can distinguish between: Accellerogram for soil node (B red) and dummy plate node (A blue) Node selection for input signal on dummy plateДЇigure 2.

Note: there is no specific need to activate the dummy plate during the calculation.ДЇigure 1. after the calculation create a plot of your signal for the node on the dummy plate, this should be exactly equal to your input signal.after meshing the project and prior to the calculation select all desired points of interest and make sure you select also a node on the dummy plate at the bottom of your model.assign a material set to this plate using low stiffness parameters (such that we expect no influence on our results).in Structures mode select the bottom line of the model.

See the steps below on how to apply such a вЂњdummy plateвЂќ: To do so we can make use of a trick with a 'dummy plate'. To be able to see and to explicitly check our input motion we should make the other node of the node pair visible in Output. So in general the motion of this node is not equal to the input motion.

Between the two nodes of a node pair a viscous damper is created which allows for transfer of the input and/or free field motion but also allows for absorbing the incoming waves.Д¬urrently however we can by default only see one side of this node pair in the Output program: this is the side of the viscous damper that also moves due to absorption of incoming waves. When using the free field and/or compliant base boundary condition we need to create so called node pairs along the boundary of the model (for this we manually need to create an interface along the boundary).
