I have a concrete structure. I am attempting to do a Pushover Analysis and getting errors. I cannot figure out why.

 

As of now, Pushover Analysis in STAAD.Pro is restricted to steel structures only. If you attempt to do a pushover analysis on a concrete structure, the software would generate the following error in the analysis output file

 

   **ERROR : ONLY MATERIAL STEEL IS CONSIDERED FOR PUSHOVER ANALYSIS.
