Hello, everyone,
I am now doing the modal analysis for a tall building using OpenSEES, from the eigenvalue analysis I can get the natural frequencies, but I don't know how to get the generalized mass and generalized stiffness for each mode. So does anyone know how to get them from OpenSEES? Thanks.
How to output generalized mass and generalized stiffness matrix from modal analysis?

Basically, I want to know how the mode shapes were normalized in OpenSEES. If anyone knows it, please tell me. Many thanks.

You can try it for a simple spring mass system with few degrees of freedom where you can generate the mass matrix yourself and figure out how the modes are normalized

hello
you can use "print A" command to get mass matrix and eigenvectors
