For a Dynamic Time analysis the loads are input as a function of time or time varying. The load may be Base Accelerations or Forces applied to the structure. Base Accelerations are applied to any Constraints or Springs-to-Ground. A time history response may be calculated at a particular location using a Measure or a snapshot of the full model response at a point in time may be made. It is also possible to animate the full model results over a time period. This type of analysis would be useful for short duration transient loads where calculating the maximum response or settling time was the goal.
