This report briefly presents the progress of implementing the framework of a new method to run a hybrid simulation termed as online updating hybrid simulation. The online updating hybrid simulation is aimed to solve a problem of inconsistency when simulating dynamics of a structure with repetitive substructures, while only one of the substructures can be simulated by a physical specimen. This work is a collaborative work between the National Center for Research on Earthquake Engineering(NCREE) and the Mid-America Earthquake(MAE) Center. NCREE is planning on developing algorithms for the updating of material models used in the finite element analysis according to instantly measured data. Further details of the upcoming work will be described in the near future.
