Japan Atomic Energy Agency has been developing the three-dimensional virtual shaking table for earthquake-resistant evaluations in the atomic energy facilities. It is to realize an earthquake proofing reliability examination by analyzing the earthquake-resistant of the large structure on a computer. This is the trial that is going to realize a virtual shaking table examination such as difficult size of the original structures or nuclear power generation facilities while driving on a computer. Authors develop the structure analysis cord of the assembling structure so called FIESTA (Finite Element Structural Analysis for Assembly) as one of the core functions. This is the details analytical method that paid its attention to the behavior between the part of the assembling structure as one means to perform the earthquake-resistant evaluations for such as atomic energy facilities. In this report, it is reported the way of time history response analysis by assembly structural analysis.
