Setting Properties of the Time History Study

  1. Right-click the Time History study in the Simulation study tree and select Properties.
  2. In Dynamic Options apply the following settings:
    Option Description
    Start time 0 (sec)
    End time 0.8 (sec)
    Time increment 0.0005
    For the solution time step, use a value that is a fraction of the period of the load's highest frequency. It is recommended to run the analysis with decreasing time steps and note the convergence of the results.
  3. Click OK.
