Time History with horizontal and vertical excitation

Post by fabriziocornali »

Hi everyone!
I need to perform one time history analysis considering the horizontal and vertical excitation applied at the same instant of time. I need to know the results in terms of forces and displacements obtained considering both components of the earthquake.
Somebody can advice me what's the most suitable command to use for performing this kind of analysis?
Thank you!
Fabrizio
