Hi,

After performing my seismic analysis. I see that in MODE 1 my structure has torsion. When I look at a point modal component I get a value for:

Trans and rotn, but what exactly are these values and do they have a unit ? I'm guessing TRANSLATION and ROTATION. What exactly does it mean, how do I know if my structure has too much torsion or not ? Not sure how to interprete these values.

Thank you,
