Hello
How can I model a concrete beam cross-section reinforced with steel plates at the top and bottom?

excellent . Thankful.

Hello
One of the important issues in the discussion of the progressive Collapse of buildings is slab effect. Apparently, There is no shell element for slab modeling. Is it possible to add Such a capability in the next version ?

Thank you
I hope the ability to model the finite element of the slabs will be added in later versions.
regards.

Hello
In the modeling of the slabs, if we want to act other than the effective width definition of the slab for the beams and rigid diaphragm (performed by the software ; Seismostruct):
1- Can I model a slab with a number of beam elements? (one-way slabs)
2. How can two-way slab modeling be?
regards.

Thank you very much.
By reducing the convegence norms and Modify the model, I got a more accurate result.
In the case of using 4 elements along the wall width, a good result was obtained.
Regards.

Thanks
1-I mean the division of the wall is not in height but in Wall width. My goal is to remove half of the wall in a single story in my model (similar to a opening).
So I can not use the rcrws section in the software.hence I split the wall web into two parts (in Wall width) and model the boundary ...

Hello
I am examining how to model a shear wall against progressive Collapse. The wall has two boundary elements.
Since I should remove half the wall and one of the boundary element columns on the ground floor to simulate a progressive Collapse,
I split the wall into two parts and model the boundary ...

Hello
How to model the shear wall in which half of the wall is lost on the first floor ??
