Figure 15: Select Response Computation Options Figure 16: Input Sampling Rate Reduction Once the wind-induced time history of responses are computed and saved, the listing of available response files in the panel will be updated. Note that the Time History of Responses responses computed here are for a wind speed of 1 ft/s at building eave height and are saved in file format. The computed time histories of responses can be displayed graphically (Figure .mat 17) by pressing the button under each listing. The user interface shown in Figure 17 also Display enables saving the time-history of response being displayed in a file format. If results of .csv responses from previous calculations are being used, the panel can be Pressure Databases skipped by directly selecting the folder containing the time-history of response files/files in the panel. The dialog box (Figure Time History of Responses Select Response Computation Options 15) can also be accessed using the button in the Response Computation Options Time History of panel. In the time-history of responses listing, if more than one response output file is Responses selected within one terrain, the button will be visible and interpolation of interpolate of responses can be performed. Figure 17: Output of Time-series of Responses Design of Frames Pressing the button at the bottom of the interfaces shown in Figure 3 and Design Frames Figure 14 will open the interface (Figure 18). In this interface: Design of Frames In the panel, the building input file can be selected, and the preliminary Building Definition frame design and the influence coefficients of each member can be displayed.
