overlapping beams in SAP2000
overlapping beams in SAP2000
(OP)
Hi all,
I am working on a model where I need to model partition walls on top of real beams as fake beams with "none" property but with mass/length assigned. The "none" beams will therefore overlap the real beams partially or entirely. I ran a small test model to see if there will be any issues with connectivity between the real and fake beams, but the modal diagrams looks to be consistent. Can you think of any potential errors/problems with this approach?
Thanks in advance,
Sarju

I did check the log file and there are no error/warning messages.
Stressed,
The reason for modeling the partition wall this way are multiple. Not all the walls line up with the beams, there are some that are in the middle of the slab, so we need fake beams. The model is also to be exported to be used in Ansys, so we need consistency throughout in other to track all the loads.
