Dear z.gronti I thought that by dividing the P1 element, link between P1 and wall is automatically created! I made connections through equal DOF, but in this case and during the pushover analysis, only the new P1 and s/wall nodes are connected, the other parts of the wall seem detached from the P1 e...

Dear z.gronti
I subdivided the P elements but the pb remains the same
do you advise to use rigid-link element in order to link s/walls to beams and columns and what is the manner to do that
Regards

once again thanks a lot z.gronti for the reply yes the wall's length is from one column to the other, but in pushover analysis, the frame deformed without the wall which did not suffer any deformation nor displacement and appeared disconnected from the frame, that is the reason I concluded that the ...

thanks z.gronti, I will do so, in fact, I tried successfully to insert wall into frame, but it seems that one has to connect walls to frames through rigid links, it is what I did but it did not work

Hi
I would like to know what are the basic steps to model shear wall within a frame element
