ART

When exporting corrected time-histories use the extension
.at2 and when exporting response spectra use extension .000.
For corrected time-histories three output files are created, one
with the name specified (for corrected acceleration), one with
the stem specified plus the extension .vt2 (for corrected

velocity) and one with the stem specified plus the extension
.dt2 (for corrected displacement). For response spectra five

output files are created, one with the name specified (for 0%
damping spectrum), one with the stem specified and extension
.020 (for 2% damping spectrum), one with the stem specified
and extension .050 (for 5% damping spectrum), one with the

stem specified and extension .100 (for 10% damping
spectrum) and one with the stem specified and extension .200 

(for 20% damping spectrum).

Columns
ART allows the exporting of uncorrected and corrected time-
histories, Fourier amplitude spectra, elastic response spectra,
input energy spectra and drift spectra in a column ASCII format.
When exporting files in this format use extension .txt.

SAC
ART allows the exporting of uncorrected and corrected time-
histories in the data format of the Seismic Analysis Code
(http://www.llnl.gov/sac/). When exporting files in this format
use extension .sac.

Microsoft Excel
ART allows the exporting of uncorrected and corrected time-
histories, Fourier amplitude spectra, elastic response spectra,
input energy spectra and drift spectra in Microsoft Excel .xls 
format. When exporting files in this format use extension .xls.

Note that to able to successfully export files in Microsoft Excel

format Excel itself must be installed on the user’s computer.

Matlab
ART allows the exporting of uncorrected and corrected time-
histories, Fourier amplitude spectra, elastic response spectra,
input energy spectra and drift spectra in Matlab native .mat 

format. When exporting files in this format use extension .mat.

3.2.7 Clear time-histories

The ‘Clear time-histories’ button clears all the opened time-
histories from memory. A confirmation dialog-box asks the user
