Steel Building Pushover Analysis to Eurocode 8

This quest demonstrates the nonlinear pushover analysis of a three-storey braced steel building in MIDAS GEN NX. You will first perform a conventional structural analysis and Eurocode 3 steel design check before configuring the performance-based seismic assessment. You will define gravity load conditions, displacement-controlled pushover cases, P-Delta effects, and lateral load patterns. After assigning nonlinear hinge properties to beams, columns, and braces, you will generate capacity curves, calculate Eurocode 8 target displacements, examine hinge performance, and verify member safety at the Significant Damage limit state. By completing this quest, you will learn how to: - Perform an initial analysis and Eurocode 3 steel check - Configure global pushover analysis controls - Define displacement-controlled lateral load cases - Include initial gravity loads and P-Delta effects - Define nonlinear hinges for beams, columns, and braces - Assign hinge properties to structural members - Generate and interpret pushover capacity curves - Calculate target displacement using Eurocode 8 - Review yielding and hinge performance states - Verify member safety at the Significant Damage limit state

• Submit a document with screenshots for pushover curve, hinge status & deformations
• Submit the modified model file generated as per the attached tutorial
