Best for smooth, long-duration seismic events where nonlinear material behavior (like steel yielding or concrete cracking) is present.
A model with 10 cubic beam elements (type B23 in plane) provides the first six frequencies up to approximately 60 Hz with errors of about 0.1% in the fourth mode (25 Hz), demonstrating the importance of mesh convergence studies. abaqus earthquake analysis
