Abstract

ABSTRACT A network interface program for controllers (NICON) for pseudo-dynamic hybrid simulations is presented. The program is implemented as an independent program residing between the simulation model and an actuator controller with various functions necessary for hybrid simulations, such as communication, coordinate transformation, error compensation. These functions are generalized to allow for a generic configuration of actuator setup theoretically with any number of control points and control degrees of freedom. Application examples of NICON to hybrid simulations of civil infrastructures subjected to earthquakes or fire are presented.
