Modeling Roof Decks in SAP2000
(OP)
Does anyone know how to accurately model non-rigid roof decks in SAP2000? Specifically, I am trying to model 38mm Canam P-3615 roof deck. Here it is:

How do I set the property/stiffness modifiers when defining a section to model the deck as a non-rigid diaphragm?

But remember that the roof deck will act as a diaphragm albeit, a flexible one.

The only problem is that beams connected to the deck may act as a Tee beam, composite with the decking.

It's not SAP 2000, but the fundamentals are the same.
