Mass moment of inertia
Mass moment of inertia
(OP)
When a diaphgram constraint is assigned to level joints, does sap2000 calculates automatically the mass moment of inertia of these joints? (In reference with the level center of mass).
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.

make use of base acceleration with low amplitude in the required direction to have better insight. In case you have defined time history load case, then I would recommend it as you can clearly specify damping and modal analysis techniques to be used.
