Mapdl.svtyp(ksv='', fact='', keyinterp='', **kwargs)#

Defines the type of single-point response spectrum.

Mechanical APDL Command: SVTYP

Parameters:
ksvint or str

Response spectrum type:

  • 0 - Seismic velocity response spectrum loading (SV values interpreted as velocities with units of length/time).

  • 1 - Force response spectrum loading (SV values interpreted as force amplitude multipliers).

  • 2 - Seismic acceleration response spectrum loading (SV values interpreted as accelerations with units of length/time 2 ).

  • 3 - Seismic displacement response spectrum loading (SV values interpreted as displacements with units of length).

factstr

Scale factor applied to spectrum values (defaults to 1.0). Values are scaled when the solution is initiated ( solve ). Database values remain the same.

keyinterpstr

Key to activate or deactivate the linear interpolation between input response spectrum points and input response spectrum curves:

  • 0 (OFF, or NO) - Deactivate linear and use logarithmic interpolation. This value is the default.

  • 1 (ON, or YES) - Activate linear interpolation.

Notes

Defines the type of single-point response spectrum ( spopt ). The seismic excitation direction is defined with the sed command.

This command is also valid in PREP7.
