Dynamic Analysis Overview

In RS2 you can perform true dynamic analysis of geotechnical structures due to earthquake loading or other dynamically applied loading. To begin dynamic modeling you must first do the following:

1. Select the Dynamic Analysis check box in Project Settings and enter the dynamic setup parameters.
2. Enter the number of stages and stage times for dynamic analysis on the Stages page of the Project Settings dialog.

After enabling the Dynamic Analysis, you can define and apply the dynamic loading and boundary conditions using the following options:

Define Dynamic Load

Add Dynamic Load

Set Dynamic Boundary Conditions

Dynamic Data Analysis

To obtain dynamic analysis results at specific locations, you can define Time Queries using one of the Time Query options.
