CSI – Perform3D Features

• Nonlinear Analysis and Design: A focal point is set on the phase of analysis that covers and dials more on nonlinear phenomena which is crucial for modeling the structural response concerning the extreme loading.
• Diverse Component Modeling: Designing different components in nonlinear models such as hinges, shear walls, dampers, braces, and even seismic isolators.
• Performance-Based Design Tools: Special tools for pushover and dynamic earthquake analyses to improve performance-based design.
• Parallel Processing: Development of analysis possibilities towards capabilities in parallel processing.
• Response Assessment Tools: Tools for measuring strain, deformation, and strength capacity in performance assessment air and aid in performance assessment.
• Limit State Analysis: Rough methods that determine if the structure is in serviceable- but near damage states by aggregating all response data into demand-over-capacity ratios, building towards valuable ratios.
• Interoperability: Import and export features with structural analysis software such as SAP2000 and ETABS.
