CSI Perform3D v11.0.0 build 1495

CSI Perform3D is nonlinear analysis and design software focused on displacement and capacity based building design.

Characteristics

• Nonlinear features include a number of nonlinear building components such as frame hinges, shear walls, dampers, tie rods, and seismic isolators.
• The analysis engine provides tools for performance-based design, including dynamic earthquake and nonlinear thrust analysis. The scan engine is 64-bit and has the ability to run up to 8 scans in parallel.
• assessment of structural systems. State-of-the-art constitutive-modeling capabilities enable characterization of material nonlinearity, including strength and stiffness degradation during component-level hysteresis. Analysis capabilities also extend to geometric nonlinearity and effects associated with P-Delta behavior. Advanced modeling tools enable a sophisticated simulation of structural behavior. Components may be grouped according to type, location, and limit state before evaluation proceeds in terms of strength or deformation-based demand-capacity ratio. The dynamic display of D-C usage is available through color-coordinated time-history animations.
