force is dropped, all elements unload, and the<br />

displacement is reduced. Once the yielded hinge<br />

reaches the Point D force level, the pushover<br />

force (base shear) is again increased and the<br />

displacement begins to increase again. This<br />

behavior is apparent when displaying the<br />

deformed shapes and force diagrams (moment,<br />

shear, etc.) for each step of the pushover, when<br />

viewing a video created for the pushover, and<br />

when displaying the force-displacement plot of<br />

the pushover.<br />

17. Click the Show Undeformed Shape button to clear the display of deformed shape for<br />

the pushover.<br />

18. Click the Set Elements button on the main toolbar (or select Set Elements… from the<br />

View menu). This displays the Set Elements Dialog box.<br />

19. In this dialog box:<br />

• Uncheck the Shrink Elements box in the options area (if it is checked).<br />

• Click the OK button.<br />

This completes the review of the pushover deformed shape and the sequence of pushover hinge<br />

formation. You may want to step through the deformed shapes for the other pushover load cases<br />

before proceeding on to the next step.<br />
