In In SeismoStruct you may use either the masonry (for load bearing masonry) or the infill (for infilled panels) elements.
Unfortunately, these elements are not currently available in SeismoBuild v2020, but they will be included in the next version of the software. In SeismoBuild you could instead use a concrete wall with lower concrete material strength.

So, if i use the infill (infilled panels) in seismostruct for masonry wall, will it consider the mass of wall? If this masonry wall have influence on static analyze in structure (not only mass, but like stiffness element)?

Thank you!

Yes, both the mass (through the specific mass of the material) and the stiffness are accounted for.
Please, post your SeismoStruct-related questions in the SeismoStruct section of the forum.
