Hello. Sorry, I'm confused but how am I going to apply boundary conditions and at the same time apply acceleration load (acceleration vs time record) on nodes at the ground level (say at y = 0)? Also, as far as I know, MSUP is limited to linear analysis and I need to consider nonlinearity in my case so I need to implement a full transient method right? Attached is my meshed structure. Thank you.
