Hi all,
I'm trying to do a response spectrum for a cantilever plate. The commands I'm using are the following:
I have put a simple response spectrum (1g at all frequencies) to validate the results. However, I don't get a reaction in the Z direction equal to the weight of the slab as would be expected.
Anyone had an idea of why is that happening?
