Dear all,

I am a new User of Ceasar and would like to know how Ceasar Calculated the Static siesmic loads ? We do specify Siesmic coeficient as per the relevant codes and just put uniform load in G check box on but how will ceasar calculate the siesmic load using this G coefficient ?

Let's assume you specify 0.3 G in the X direction. That would mean a uniform load of 0.3*weight of each element in applied in the X direction.
