What is the nonlinear analysis method, how to do nonlinear analysis with İdecad?
Nonlinear analysis methods are a design approach that applies the Evaluation and Design by Shapeshift (ŞGDT) approach described in TBDY Chapter 5 In short, it is used to determine the performance level of the buildings under the effects of earthquakes and to find the damage rates of the elements.It can be applied in all buildings, including low-rise buildings, but as I mentioned above, some conditions must be met according to the analysis method. These are Constant unimodal pushover analysis, variable unimodal pushover analysis and Incremental Spectrum Method and pushover analysis (abbreviated as ARSA, it is a multimodal pushover analysis method). You can find detailed steps of these methods here (
,
) While performing nonlinear analysis, plastic behavior of the elements is taken into consideration and modeling is done accordingly. Stacked plastic behavior model is applied for columns and beams. This model is created by placing plastic hinges at the ends of columns and beams. Plastic hinge properties are also calculated based on cross-section dimensions, reinforcement placement and material models. (For detailed information
). For curtains, plastic behavior is created with a distributed plastic behavior model. (for detailed information:
). Floors and basement curtains are modeled linearly. After this modeling, one of the pushover analysis methods is selected and the thrust curve of the structure is extracted. The performance point is found on the impulse curve by transforming the spectrum curve and the thrust curve accordingly. The performance of the structure is also determined by the plastic rotation and unit deformation values at the performance point. ideCAD does this in accordance with TBDY Chapter 5.

Can more realistic results be obtained with the nonlinear analysis method?
Nonlinear analysis always gives more realistic results in determining the earthquake performance of the building. However, the nonlinear behavior must be defined appropriately. ideCAD uses the "Moment-curvature" analysis to create the plastic hinge model and the interaction curve. Nonlinear analysis does not give a result only for usability cases (deflection calculation). In TBDY Table 3.4, it is indicated in which cases DGT and in which cases SGDT approach is sufficient.

I cannot fully control whether plastic hinges are formed in the columns
You asked, "I cannot fully control whether plastic hinges form in the columns" for the Nonlinear Analysis method. I would like to give an answer to this from the program interface. After performing nonlinear thrust analysis, right-click "Analysis system display options" and select "nonlinear thrust X+0.3Y" (or any other thrust condition) thrust condition from "Deformation" tab. You can examine the plastic joints and damage conditions that occur in each step. On the left of the three-dimensional display screen, there are colorings indicating the damage status of the plastic hinges. You can examine the states of the plastic hinges at which end of each element from these colors. The blue dots in the picture below are where the plastic hinges form. Blue color means that it is at KH level. You can find detailed information about the definition of plastic hinges in the links I will give.
,
, When you click on any plastic joint, you can see the details about that plastic joint. Plastic rotation values, internal force conditions and damage conditions are also seen in these details. For detailed information about the evaluation method;

Where can I find the explanations of the parts shown on the Nonlinear impulse analysis options page that appears when the nonlinear analysis button is pressed? +x+3Y, Fixed, variable mode, etc., Iteration detail surface, etc..
Direction options show which direction the pushover analysis will be made under the influence of which coefficients. Since the superposition principle is not valid in non-linear analyses, analyzes should be done separately for all cases. Since this takes some time When checking projects at first, only the dominant aspects (eg X+0.3 and X-0.3Y) can be analyzed and checked.When checking your project at the beginning, you need to take all these two combinations into consideration when making the final evaluation. structure available in The analysis option is specified according to whether it is a structure or a new structure. There are differences in terms of material model and evaluation between the building being an existing structure and being a new one. The level of knowledge creates differences in the material model according to the situations specified in TBDY 15.2.4 and 15.2.5 in existing structures. In the Pushover Analysis Method, you can choose any of the pushover methods specified in TBDY Section 5.6. One of the unimodal pushover analyzes can be used for this structure. Iteration detail level is also an opportunity that affects the analysis time. A level of 1 sensitivity is lower, while a high sensitivity of 5 means longer analysis time. Having 3 is ideal. Second-order effects can be taken linear for this structure. Accepting the second-order effects in the intermediate steps of the thrust analysis as linear does not make a significant difference for reinforced concrete structures. The Curtain Material Model should not be linear.

I cannot fully control whether plastic hinges are formed in the columns. If it were, it would not be shown as a ductile element. I am researching. I think this is one of our most important issues
Besides, it is about ductility control; There is no plastic behavior related to the shear force, which is the internal force that causes brittle collapse. It is also desired to prevent damage caused by shear force. Therefore, the shear behavior used in ductility control is linear behavior. At the performance point in the thrust analysis, the shear forces formed in the elements must be smaller than the shear strength If this is the case, the element is considered brittle if it is not ductile Detailed information
You can also review the thrust analysis results from the reports. When the report is received, you can examine the material models, the plastic hinge conditions in the elements, the damage caused by the diffuse plastic behavior on the curtains and the performance of the building. Best regards...
