Swanger Typed or Printed Name Date of Signature Signature Title Professional Services Division Typed or Printed Name Date of Signature Rev. 2.2 GTSTRUDL Program Report Form (Continued) GPRF No.: 96.10 DATE: 12 March, 1996 DESCRIPTION: Multiple support acceleration TRANSLATION description lines in the RESPONSE SPECTRUM LOADING command will cause a specified acceleration response spectrum file to be treated as a displacement response spectrum file when the loading data are stored. This will produce incorrect response spectrum analysis results which may not be obvious. An example of the problematic RESPONSE SPECTRUM LOADING command input follows: RESPONSE SPECTRUM LOAD 1 SUPPORT ACCELERATION TRANSLATION X 1.0 FILE 'EX-XZ' TRANSLATION Z 1.0 FILE 'EX-XZ' END Section 2.4.4.6.2 implies that only one TRANSLATION command line is allowed and if multiple global directions are desired, then the following form of the TRANSLATION command shall be used: RESPONSE SPECTRUM LOAD 1 SUPPORT ACCELERATION TRANSLATION X 1.0 Z 1.0 FILE 'EX-XZ' END An example of output which illustrates this problem also follows: Applicable sections of the User's Manual: Response Spectra Support Acceleration Commands Section 2.4.4.6.2, Vol. 3 Rev. 2.2 {1401} > $ {1402} > $ {1403} > $ {1404} > $ Input response spectrum file.
