Can any one kindly tell me how to model the in-cyclic strength degradation in my model using Drain 3dx or any other software like IDARC. Which hysteretic parameters i should modify to get good results. Kindly send me some example input file for RC frame.I want to induce this effect in my nonlinear time history and pushover analysis.Thankyou
