Hi everyone!

I am coding with Mathcad a worksheet that is supposed to generate the response spectra for earthquake data. I have achieved it using the Implicit Method, but when I use the Explicit Method (Central Difference Method) I get the message that there is a floating point error. Could somene please help me to fix this problem? 

Thank you
