Interface

BI-SPEC provides a user-friendly interface for inputting different analysis parameters, and viewing results graphically. Most of the decisions and inputs are made in one screen – the Main Dialog screen. The earthquakes to be used can be specified using the Earthquake Dialog. The program allows the user to interactively test the element model to be used by performing a pushover on the element and observing hysteresis curves and interaction plots in the Model Testing Dialog.
