Community Question:

Hello Bentley I'm working in an earthquake dynamic response and when I check the spectrum in graph in chatvue file the values in the graph doesn't match with the values tabulated in the left part, someone could clarify this behavior?

 

Answer:

First at all I would like to mention that this is not a bug or error in the software. As can you see on the grid distribution of this graph, this is not a common graph; this one is built considering a logarithmic distribution, in this case the base 10 logarithm is used

the coordinates are calculated by this way

X=10^0.77815130 = 6.00

Y=10^-2.116338 = 0.00765
