Abstract
A three-dimensional animation system has been developed for visualizing the dynamic response of multistory structures subjected to earthquake excitations, using the IRIX operating system and implemented in Graphics Library (GL) Windows and ANSI C programming language. The animation system includes three-dimensional multistory frames with flexible floors. The input can be any accelerogram data (ground acceleration record) due to any real or artificial earthquake. The user of the system can select the input parameters of the structure, such as the number of bays, stories, bay width, story height, etc., and view their effect on the dynamic behavior of the structure. Sample outputs are presented for two irregular high-rise building structures. The graphics interface is linked to the dynamic analysis program. It computes the required displacements to be inputted back into the graphics interface which plots the deflected profile of the structure dynamically. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
