I meet a problem that how using reinforced concrete flexural wall section in modelling a RC shear-wall frame,I find the section is three nodes element and I modeled it in vertical direction but in "seismostruct help"-sections-reinforced concrete flexural wall section - rcfws- note3: "rigid elements featuring half of the wall's width need to be connected to the left- and right-hand-side of the frame element",that means the rcfws element two nodes is in horizontal level? I am confused and I want to know how to correctly use the reinforced concrete flexural wall element,thank you for reply
