The Acceleration time graph should not be a straight line!!!!!

I first tried the same data as jacs127 used in his screen shot in vain. All the other graphs are similar to his but only Accn-Time is not. Mine is just at zero!!!!

---

The Accn -Time graph under time series is not right for me. The one under fourier and power spectra is correct. I think both should correlate.]]> The Acceleration-Time graph is coming out as a straight line!!!

I realised some issue with ETABS but did not go much into its intricacies. Its mathematical though not that much,the simple type,just units conversion.
Lets say our working units are KN-m, this means that approximately i may use 25KN/cubic metre and 2.54 ton/cubic metre as the unit weight and unit mass respectively for reinforced concrete.
Now if you open a new file with KN-m as your working units, and go to define Material properties, you will notice that by default the unit weight is 23.5616KN/cubic metre and unit mass as 2.4007.....(here meaning that unit weight/9.81=unit mass).
Now i would want to assume that 2.4007 is actually ton/cubic metre. But then i go ahead and make a further check. What would this be? I go into the calculator mode of ETABS by shift clicking to access the calculator. Here i change my units temporarily to ton-m. I then enter a value of 2.54 ton/cubic metre, and calculate and then OK the results. Surprisingly, i find that the the unit weight and unit mass are actually the same value. I am still not satisfied cause i feel this should be the correct input but requires more confirmatory testing. I then exit the forms and change my working units for the entire project to ton-m. Now here comes the catch!!!! ETABS defaults the value of unit mass to 0.2448 ton/cubic metre.

Observations
Defaulted inputs are not correct as expected.

Conclusions
ETABS or any other program Users should not take default values for granted. Check them and see if they are correct. If you doubt them, consult. CivilEA is there to help!!

I have created a linear direct integration time history load case, which contains a bridge live load pattern. This load pattern has a time history function associated.

The problem is that when I change the time history function, all the results stay the same...Even if I create a null time history function (all zeros throughout the time), I still get stresses and deformations in the structure, suggesting that the time history function is actually doing nothing!

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? I've seen that time history functions work with static load cases...Can't it work with moving load cases?

Any help will be mostly appreciated!]]>

I ask you to see if anyone knows if SAP2000 version 10, can operate with multiple processors, ie in a supercomputer that has multiple processors, or on a network of computers to work on a single model.

This is because I have been testing the model for my thesis on my computer (intel core-2-duo, 4GB ram), but the race becomes very slow (I think it would take weeks to complete a single run !!).. I know there is not a problem with my computer, because the analysis is a nonlinear time-history and direct integration, which usually takes longer than other analysis. Also that the structure is very large (57 levels, and 5 x 5 frames) and has many nonlinear elements (defined plastic hinges at the ends of some beams, and many bars with a limit of tension/compression).

I need to speed up the runs to finish my thesis within a reasonable time, because now I have to finish it. I went to ask my university to lend me a supercomputer to make runs, but they told me to check that the program (SAP2000 v10) could work with multiple processors simultaneously, so that the supercomputer would be useful .. But I do not know if the SAP2000 can or not.

Please, if any of you know if SAP2000 can work with multiple processors, or can suggest me how i can speed up the analysis, Please help me..]]>
