Structural geometry

Defining the geometry of the structure being modelled is a four-step procedure. Firstly, all structural and non-structural nodes are defined, after which element connectivity can be stipulated. The process is then concluded with the assignment of structural restraints, which fully characterise the structure's boundary conditions. Additional Constraints can also be defined.

• Nodes
• Element Connectivity
• Constraints
• Restraints

Note: An upper bound value of 50000 is set as the maximum number of nodes or elements that can be defined in a SeismoStruct model.
