Hello
My question is related to pushdown analysis.I am performing Pushdown analysis and in the results I get displacement at each step but how to get applied load at each steps.I have to show the load displacement curve.I saved the results in multiple steps
Thank you

“Pushdown” of what?
Using what analysis code?
Are you applying loads or displacements?
A picture would help just a tiny bit.
 
I am using pushdown analysis in removing coloumn and I am using chines building code I have applied displacement control methods
 
By analysis code I meant the FEA software.

If you have applied displacements, then you need to output the reaction loads (where you have boundary conditions). Or in some FEA codes one can output the nodal loads where you have applied the displacements.
 
I am using sap20000 FEA SOFTWARE and I found the reaction loads at every step now how I can find the initial stiffness, plastic stage and catenary load and also the fractured displacement in sap20000
