deleting full story

Post by hania.kkari »

hi support team,

actually i'm studying height effect on a steel braced frame , so gradually every run I have to delete complete floor, I have a braced structure with members and links, i'm finding difficulty in deleting member by member and node by node. is there anyway to delete the complete story in less steps ?

regards,
Hani

Dear hania.kkari,

You may graphically select all the members you want to delete(control+click on the elements), after having selected all, delete them. Or you may sort by name the elements (if you have named them per storey) select all the elements of last floor from the table input and delete them. Finally, you may sort by z coordinates the nodes , select the structural nodes of the last floor and delete them.

Dear hania.kkari,

Please note also the existence of the 'Groups' facility in SeismoStruct, which can come very handy when one wants to group nodes and elements according to any given criteria (you can select nodes/elements in the manner described by Zoi Gronti and then use the right-click button to add them to a given Group).
