    1. The document describes the steps to perform a UBC97 seismic analysis in Robot including defining a modal analysis, checking participation masses, defining the seismic analysis, specifying code parameters and direction definition, selecting the type of combinations between directions, running the analysis, and defining design combinations. 2. Key steps are conducting a modal analysis to determine the appropriate number of modes, specifying seismic code parameters and direction of seismic loads, selecting quadratic or signed quadratic combinations between directions, and running the analysis to obtain results. 3. Considerations for large models include storing only combination results instead of single mode results, filtering modes, and using a pseudo-mode approach to reduce the number of modes analyzed.

    The document outlines the steps to define a UBC97 seismic analysis in Robot including defining modal analysis, adding masses, running analysis, defining seismic analysis, specifying code parameters, creating combinations between directions, and defining design combinations.

    The steps include: 1) defining modal analysis, 2) adding masses, 3) running modal analysis, 4) defining seismic analysis UBC97, 5) selecting direction definition, 6) running analysis, 7) defining design combinations.

    Parameters that need to be specified include: code parameters, direction definition, method for creating combinations between directions (usually quadratic), whether to generate signed or unsigned combinations, type of combinations between modes (usually CQC).

    Defining UBC97 seismic analysis in Robot short step-by-step description

    of the simple typical case.


    1. Defining modal analysis load case using Analysis Type/ New.

    2. Defining added masses using Loads/Load definition or conversion of loads to masses


    using appropriate dialogue

    3. Running analysis and checking participation mass for each horizontal direction. If
    90% is not reached for both horizontal directions X and Y (table Dynamic Analysis
    Results with appropriate columns added) increasing the number of modes in modal
    analysis parameters and running analysis again. Continuing this procedure until
    appropriate number of modes is found. It can be also done automatically when using

    Seismic mode or Seismic (Pseudo mode) mode in Modal Analysis Parameters and
    specifying there Participation masses as active in such case Robot will automatically
    increase the number of modes until the demanded participation percentage is reached.

    4. Defining seismic analysis UBC97 using Analysis Type/ New. Specifying code
    parameters and selecting Direction definition

    5. Selecting the method of creating combinations between directions on American


    market usually quadratic ones are used. Specifying whether signed or unsigned
    combinations should be generated. Specifying the type of combinations between
    modes (usually CQC) used for each direction in combinations between directions.

    6. Running analysis
    7. Defining design combinations (manual or automatic ones) considering static load
    cases and dynamic combinations
    Additional notes:
    In case of using signed quadratic combinations it will be necessary to set main
    modes for each of directions. Usually the main criterion to select such modes is

    their contribution to participation mass for given direction this contribution


    can be checked in Dynamic Analysis Results with appropriate columns added

    Robot by default stores results for single modes. In case of big models it can be
    better from the point of view of amount of results and speed to store only
    results of combinations of modes it can be changed in Job Preferences/
    Structure Analysis/ Results Save. In case of big models it can be also useful to
    filter modes (to be set in parameters of seismic spectral analysis) and to use
    pseudo-mode approach (to be set in parameters of modal analysis analogous
    to Ritz vector approach in SAP)
    Signed combinations are the method to avoid the effect of using quadratic
    combinations i.e. loosing the information concerning sign of loads, moments,
    displacements etc. This information can be important as concerns for instance
    the relation between sign of normal force (tension/compression) and sign
    (direction) of bending or as concerns the change of sign of moment along
    members. Signed quadratic combinations are calculated according to formulas
    (with assumption that coefficients are equal to 1) given below:
