Nonlinear dynamic analysis set up

[ludodam]

Hello STKO Team,
I'm replicating on STKO, for my master thesis, an experimental test of a full-scale bridge column tested by shake-table excitation.
I set up the non-linear dynamic analysis based on the webinars and the analysis converges but then in the post processor I have no results. I think I didn't really apply the seismic action to the model. I hope you can help me set it up correctly.

Hi, You missed to add mass to the model. Please add them under conditions section. For dynamic analysis you need to specify mass of the model. Mass can be specified as point mass, uniform mass over edge, or volume mass. STKO offers the automated calculation of mass distribution if you specify then as face or volume mass (Refer the figures below).

Hi, okay I'll try then. Thank you so much!
