How to model TENSION only X braces in ETABS 9.7 ?
How to model TENSION only X braces in ETABS 9.7 ?
(OP)
Hi,
I want to model a tension only X brace. I've seen the FAQ http://www.eng-tips.com/faqs.cfm?fid=1169 but I guess it was done with an old version of ETABS. In ETABS 9.7 it is not possible to assign a frame to NONE.
Anyone know how to model a tension only X brace ?
