I prepared a small Time History example. There are curvilinear beams at different levels in the model . Corrected acceleration records of El Centro earthquake were applied to the system in the X direction. The same system was transferred to the sap2000 program and the results were compared. Here I give some values as a summary. Modal analysis Periods ideCAD Sap2000 1st mode 0.14879 0.14879 2nd mode 0.14654 0.14654 3rd mode 0.13285 0.13285 Time History Results K3 beam maximum M33 Moment Left end ideCAD sap2000 10.9854 10.9854 Time History Results K3 beam maximum M33 Moment Right end ideCAD sap2000 12.6842 12. Exactly the same. I include both the ideCAD model and the sap2000 model for you to compare the results yourself.
