CSI Perform3D 8.1.0 Build 1171

CSI Perform3D is a powerful tool for seismic and earthquake resistance analysis. Supporting complex structures, including wall structures subjected to complex shear forces, can be analyzed nonlinearly using a variety of limit states on the ground subjected to a variety of deformations.

Data models can be imported directly from ETABS and SAP2000. A multi-layered element is supported, including beams, columns, braces, retaining walls, eight decks, dampers, and isolators. Nonlinear analysis (static and/or kinetic) can be run on the same model. These types of loads can be applied in any sequence, like an earthquake load followed by a pushover.

PERFORM 3D provides powerful performance based on design capability, and can scale demand, capacity (use) for all limit components and all limit states . Performance evaluation based on ATC-40, FEMA-356 or ATC-440 fully automated.

Features of CSI Perform3D

• Nonlinear features include several nonlinear construction components such as frame hinges, shear walls, dampers, tie rods, and seismic isolators.
• The Perform3D analysis tool provides tools for performance-based design, including nonlinear thrust analysis and earthquake analysis. The analysis engine is 64-bit and the product is capable of running up to 8 analyzes in parallel.
• Perform3D includes a number of tools for measuring model response and evaluating structure behavior, including strain measurement factors and strain and strength definition on both elastic components and inelastic.
• The limit state feature in Perform3D can be used to aggregate response data into a demand-to-power ratio for easy performance evaluation.
• Perform3D can be exported from SAP2000 or ETABS and serves as the starting point for your Perform3D model.
