Last question on this topic: To link them, I should use "Rigid Link", right? not "Equal DOF"?

<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I am modelling a building made of very thin walls (10cm) reinforced by a single layer of welded reinforcements (D133: 15x15x5mm). Some of them can be relatively long (longest 5.7m), so they have a fairly slim appearance, and there is no real difference between cover and core ...

<t>First things first: thank you all for the answers.<br/>
<br/>
@Seismosoft: So you would rather advise to model three (rigidly linked) rectangular elements than one T-shaped and one rectangular? I have already prepared the sections for the latter, but changing it wouldn't be much trouble. I think ...

<t>Hmmm, I also considered using two U-shaped sections, but I would loose the accuracy for the loading in the direction of the flanges, wouldn't I?<br/>
<br/>
Also, what would be the advantage (if there are some) of using three rectangular sections over using one T-section and one additional ...

Update for anyone who would have the same problem:
After re-installing Seismostruct with the English version, the abovementioned options appeared. It seems that indeed this problem was linked to the Spanish version (which is odd but okay).

<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I am brand-new to SS, and I am trying to model a simple small rectangular wall with a single layer of reinforcements. However, I can't seem to find how to where I can input the rebars manually one by one (the proposed pattern does not fit my wall). I have checked the manual and ...

<t>Hello,<br/>
<br/>
I am modelling a building in SS (v6.5) composed of RC shear walls supporting simple slabs, and I was wondering how to model one of the walls I have. It has a monosymmetric double-T section with a web of 3.3m, a flange of 5.7m, and one of 3.9m. I was wondering if there is a ...
