Moment-Rotation (M-) type hinge can be used in Load control pushover analysis. (Beam, Wall Element) : Eurocode8:2004, FEMA, Bilinear Tri Bilinear, Tri-linear linear type Out-of-plane nonlinearity for wall elements of the plate type is reflected. Distributed hinge is added. (Moment-curvature relation: Plasticity of the entire element considered. Enter integration points (1~20). (* Only plasticity at both ends was considered for the present Multi-linear type element.) Defining g hinge g properties p p for nonlinear g general link completely p y revised. Moment-Rotation (M-) type hinge and Moment-Curvature (M-) type hinge can be used in combination.

NONLINEAR ANALYSIS
Addition of Load Incremental Method - Auto-stepping control: The first step is loaded up to 90% of the elastic limit of the structure. Further steps are automatically divided into the ratio of
Improvement on load control method: 100% of applied load is accurately reflected in analysis.

- Equal step (1/nstep): Equally divided steps. - User defined Increment-control function Auto-terminating condition is added. - Current Stiffness Ratio: If the analysis results do not converge, analysis will be terminated. Auto-terminating terminating condition by story drift ratio is added (Displacement Control). - Auto
