long time to analyze 2D model

[farhadghazi]

hi , I have a 8story-2D steel moment frame with panelzone and concentrated plastic hinge as RBS , but time to IDA analysis is too long , namely after 48hr, only one record was analyzed, why the analysis time is too high? can someone advise me to reduce analysis time? thank you.

it's probably the analysis script you are using.

Thank you for replying , yes sure , i have a robust motor analysis that converges any complex model but it is necessary for my model because simple analysis script can't converges the model.

You can use the parallel versions of OpenSees.

Need additional script for it? I do not have any knowledge for parallel

[fmk]

well if you insist on using your laborious analysis script and on not going parallel there is nothing we can do to help.
