With the Pushover Analysis command, pushover analysis (non-linear performance analysis) is performed with the Evaluation and Design Based on Shapeshift (GDT) approach. Pushover analysis is applied to new structures, existing structures and reinforced buildings. In Pushover Analysis, nonlinear material behavior, plastic hinges, plastic rotations, diffuse plastic behavior model strain values, performance point and structural performance are calculated automatically. There are three different pushover analysis methods: constant unimodal pushover analysis, variable unimodal pushover analysis, and Incremental Spectrum Analysis (ARSA) and pushover analysis.
