ETABS / Column with no stiffness

(OP)
In ETABS, how do you produce a column with zero stiffness?  Thank you.

RE: ETABS / Column with no stiffness

Also try forum802.  Just note that you have also posted the same question in this forum if you do.

RE: ETABS / Column with no stiffness

What kind of stiffness - axial or flexural?  Either way just set the member property modifier for the behaviour you are interested in to an insignificant number.

RE: ETABS / Column with no stiffness

(OP)
I want a column to have zero flexural stiffness.  I want all the shear to be taken by the shear walls.

RE: ETABS / Column with no stiffness

ok set the moment of inertial modifiers low
