Hello I have a problem with a building that does not collapse under the influence of the El Centro earthquake
I do not know if it is a problem with the parameters I have selected or the earthquake is too small?
Hi @pz_patkie03,
Thanks for posting on the forum and welcome to the SimScale Community
We’ll take a look at your project shortly!
Best,
Igor

Hi again @pz_patkie03,
Since we are not familiar with the specifics of the project, we can only provide general advice on how to perform these sorts of simulations. Dynamic studies tend to be very complicated to run and I’d advice you to go through some simpler examples (running for less time) and varying parameters such as the friction coefficient, amplitude, frequency etc.
We have many validation cases that might be useful for you to get a grasp on how this solver works within the platform, you can check them out here:
Does that help?
Best,
Igor
