Shear Wall Meshing problem in Sap20000
Shear Wall Meshing problem in Sap20000
(OP)
Hi everyone.....I'm doing pushover analysis of reinforced concrete frame with shear wall.When I try to run analysis in sap2000 without meshing of shear wall I'm getting top displacement approximately 0.25 meters as well as hinges were formed in almost all members.Whereas when I run same problem with meshing of shearwall analysis stopped at 0.05m and there were very few hinges formed in members.Can anyone know how to solve this problem?Why analysis stopped without reaching to maximum displacement say 0.25m?

So, from my limited knowledge, I think that it is imperative that the wall is meshed and meshed correctly.
So I am confused why you want to even consider any displacements determined through analysis when your wall isn't meshed.

It sounds like you might be having the analysis terminate after a certain displacement or force is reached. Try modifying this parameter to allow more hinges to form. Again, I don't have much experience here, so maybe it is something else entirely.
