SAP2000-Frame loads

SAP2000-Frame loads

SAP2000-Frame loads

(OP)
Hello

Can I make a frame element to do not take loads frame area ("uninform to frame" the type of load)

I have an area with frame elements on the periferic and an X in the middel of it, I dont want the X to take any load from the area.

Thank you in advance

RE: SAP2000-Frame loads

Couldn't you either remove the X. or change the properties so it is so weak it doesn't attract any load. Or there should be a way to release all moment, torsion and axial at a member end (not familiar with SAP200, but that's how I would do it in RISA or the like)

RE: SAP2000-Frame loads

Don't really understand what the X is. But you can select the element -> Assign -> Type of loads (depending on the element) -> Select the load you want to remove -> somewhere in that box you have: Add, Replace and Delete specific loads. So just select delete and the specific load will be removed from the specific element.

RE: SAP2000-Frame loads

Select the X braces
Assign -> Frame -> Load Transfer Options -> Uncheck "Allow Load Transfer from Area Objects"

Hope it helps.

RE: SAP2000-Frame loads

@avscorreia: I have two versions of SAP2000 v14.2.4 Advanced and v15.0.0 Ultimate ,the above mention "Load transfer Options" couldn't be found in these two versions.
