Consider the figure that shows the location of two hinges on their forcedisplacement plots. Hinge 1 has reached an event location. For hinge 2, if
both the Event Force Tolerance and the Event Displacement Tolerance are
met, then the hinge is within event tolerance and it too will be treated as part
of the event. In the figure, if the Force Tolerance divided by the Yield Force
is less than the Event Force Tolerance specified in the Static Pushover Case
Data, and the Displacement Tolerance divided by the horizontal distance
from B to C is less than the Displacement Event Tolerance specified in the
Static Pushover Case Data, then hinge 2 will be treated as part of the event.
When determining the Force Tolerance Ratio, the denominator is always the
yield force. When determining the Displacement Tolerance Ratio, the
denominator is the horizontal length of the portion of the force-displacement
curve that the hinge is currently on. In the figure, hinge 2 is on the B-C
portion of the curve, thus we used the B-C horizontal length in the
denominator of the Displacement Tolerance Ratio.
4. Click the Add New Pushover button to display the Static Pushover Case Data dialog
box.
5. In this dialog box:

In the Options area, select GRAV from the Start From Previous Pushover dropdown box.
Step 4
In the Options area, check the Include P-Delta box if it is not already checked.
In the Options area, accept the Push to Displacement Of value of 0.96 feet.
Note: The Push To Displacement Of value defaults to 0.04 times the Z
coordinate of the highest joint in the model. Note that this may lead to
very large displacements if the base of the model is not at Z=0. You can
change this value, if necessary, by typing a new value in the edit box.

Step 5
Check both the Wire Shadow and the Cubic Curve options in the Options area.
6. The deformed shape will appear. Note that the title of the window includes the
information Deformed Shape (PUSH2 Step 0). Thus we are currently viewing
the deformed shape at the start of the pushover. Since the PUSH2 pushover was
started from the GRAV pushover, we are also viewing the deformed shape at the end
of the GRAV pushover.
Note: Recall that the PUSH2 pushover load case is the PUSHPAT static load
pattern.
