Three-Storey Building Response GUI

GUI for calculating the seismic response of a three storey-building.

This script aims to provide the seismic response of a three-storey building when subjected to either a force applied at a user-specified location or to the strike of a ground acceleration. The floors are equally spaced.
On this basis, the script obtains and plots the vibration modes (eigenvalues and eigenvectors), and calculates the time response of the building: the displacement, velocity and acceleration of each storey. Furthermore, it calculates the base moment and base shear reactions of the building highlighting the extreme values with their concomitant.
Lastly, the script offers the possibility to store the results obtained by clicking ‘Create a file’. The GUI will request a filename and a directory and automatically create a .dat file which will contain all the data mentioned above.
