Modeling Wood Shear Walls as Plates in RISA 3d

Modeling Wood Shear Walls as Plates in RISA 3d

(OP)
Looking on advice for modeling wood shear walls as plates in RISA 3d. I know the program has a wall module but it seems to be limited to rectangular shapes which I don't have on my gable end. I would be content with just accuarately modeling the force transfer in this case. Should I use a shear modulus that includes fastener slip? and what modulus of elasticity? thanks

Also what releases should the plates have? And does anyone have advice for modeling a diaphragm composed of 5/4 decking planks or 2x10 hoists? How would you calculate the modulus ir effective modulus of rigidity? Thanks
