Analysis
Alpaca4d is a software tool for performing various types of structural analysis. It can perform several different types of analyses, including:
Linear static analysis: This type of analysis is used to determine the static response of a structure to a known set of loads. The results show the deflection, stress, and strain at various points in the structure.
Linear dynamic analysis: This type of analysis is used to study the dynamic response of a structure to dynamic loads such as earthquakes or wind. It can be used to calculate the response spectrum, mode shapes, and frequencies of a structure.
Nonlinear static analysis: This type of analysis is used to study the behavior of a structure when it is subject to large deformations. It is often used to investigate the behavior of structures under extreme loading conditions, such as collapse or failure.
Nonlinear dynamic analysis: This type of analysis combines the principles of linear and nonlinear static analysis to study the behavior of a structure under dynamic loads that cause large deformations.
Pushover analysis: This type of analysis is used to determine the nonlinear static response of a structure to a monotonic lateral load. It is commonly used to assess the seismic performance of structures.
