Thank you,
Hey @joejavady,
Have you run the cell at the top of the notebook which imports the relevant libraries? If you’ve missed this, you will get that error.

Hello Dr. Sean,
Thank you for your message. I added a comma between two numbers and fixed.
Thank you,
@Sean Hi Sean,
Just to make sure to clarify something simple :
1- The reaction we observe as ‘Relative Structural Response’ has both the transient and steady state response in it, right? Thanks to, our numerical function all type of displacements are already included ?
Thanks again for marvellous efforts on lectures,
Cheers,
Burak
Yes - a numerical solution will contain the complete response.
Breaking the response into transient and steady-state components is a nice distinction that emerges from the theoretical treatment of the problem but a numerical solution doesn’t ‘recognise’ this distinction - it just bundles everything together!
