Thanks Clayton for the amazing tutorial. Just one question. Since the second-order analysis was really easy, why would the code provide the first order analysis with amplification factor? From what I understood, it was just only a different analysis option, and thus less confusion and mistakes.
Hi the code doesn't expect everyone to have access to a software that can do second-order analysis. So it gives first order analysis with amplification factor (so that anyone with a calculator can use the code !)
