20. The performance point in Sa, Sd coordinates is shown in the Performance Point (Sa, Sd) box<br />

below the plot. The units for Sa are always g; the current units for Sd are feet. Note you<br />

could also estimate the value of the performance point by holding the mouse pointer over the<br />

performance point (intersection of the ADRS pushover curve and the single demand<br />

spectrum (variable damping)) and reading the value in the Cursor Location box.<br />

Note: The location of the mouse pointer is specified in the Cursor Location box as<br />

(Horizontal axis location, Vertical Axis location). Thus when looking at the<br />

Performance Point using the mouse pointer, you will read (Sd, Sa), which is<br />

switched from how it is specified in the Performance Point (Sa, Sd) box.<br />

21. In the Demand Spectrum area, type .6 into the Seismic Coefficient Cv edit box. Click the<br />

mouse somewhere on the pushover curve dialog box outside of the Seismic Coefficient Cv<br />

edit box to enter the change. Note how both the plot and the Performance Point information<br />

below the plot change. Note that the performance point in Sa, Sd coordinates changes.<br />

22. Type .4 into the Seismic Coefficient Cv edit box. Click the mouse on the plot to enter the<br />

change.<br />

23. Uncheck the Show Family of Demand Spectra box. The family of demand spectra are<br />

removed from the plot.<br />

24. Check the Show Family of Demand Spectra box to show the family of demand spectra again.<br />

25. In the Damping Ratios edit boxes, type .3 in the last box. Click the mouse on the plot to<br />

enter the change. Note that the lowest demand spectra got even lower when we increased the<br />

damping ratio from 0.2 to 0.3.<br />

26. Type .2 in the last Damping Ratios edit box and click the mouse on the plot to return the<br />

form to its original state.<br />

27. In the Damping Ratios edit boxes, delete the value in the second edit box and click the mouse<br />

on the plot to enter the change. Note that only three demand spectra now appear on the plot,<br />

one with 5% damping, one with 15% damping and one with 20% damping.<br />

28. Type .1 in the second Damping Ratios edit box and click the mouse on the plot to return the<br />

form to its original state.<br />

29. Uncheck the Show Single Demand Spectrum (Variable Damping) box. The single demand<br />

spectrum is removed from the plot.<br />

30. Check the Show Single Demand Spectrum (Variable Damping) box to show the single<br />

demand spectrum again.<br />

31. Uncheck the Show Constant Period Lines At box. The constant period lines are removed<br />

from the plot.<br />
