* **Output Only Transfer Functions** - If this option is set, only transfer function printed plots can be requested at nodal points and time history of input motion need not be supplied. | * **Output Only Transfer Functions** - If this option is set, only transfer function printed plots can be requested at nodal points and time history of input motion need not be supplied. | ||
* **Save Complex Transfer Function** - If this option is set then amplitude and phase of the computed transfer functions are saved in TFU and TFI files. This option is not recommended for typical SSI analysis since the information on the Fourier phase is often difficult to interpret from engineering point of view. | * **Save Complex Transfer Function** - If this option is set then amplitude and phase of the computed transfer functions are saved in TFU and TFI files.

- | * **Output Time History Step** - Type the output time history step. If this value is zero, ACS SASSI MOTION prints the table only, else prints every history step point. | + | * **Save File 12/13** - User can save FILE12 or FILE13 produced by MOTION module. |
* **Total Duration to Be Plotted** - Input the total duration of time history to be plotted. | * **Total Duration to Be Plotted** - Input the total duration of time history to be plotted. | ||
* **Smoothing Parameter** - The smoothing parameter is used to filter the potential spurious spectral sharp peaks and valleys that could be artificially introduced by the original SASSI interpolation scheme for transfer functions. Using the ACS SASSI spectrum plot capability, the analyst could investigate the effects of smoothing on the SSI results by comparing for selected nodes the computed and the interpolated amplitude transfer functions that are saved on hard-drive in text files with extension TFU and TFI. To use smoothing between any pair of the computed frequencies has to be at least one interpolated frequency. | * **Smoothing Parameter** - The smoothing parameter is used to filter the potential spurious spectral sharp peaks and valleys that could be artificially introduced by the original SASSI interpolation scheme for transfer functions.
