Hello,
we are currently designing a 30 storey concrete builiging situated in Montreal with a dynamic analysis, as required per the NBCC 2005 code.
The building is roughly square (about 100' x 120') and there is an elevator core in the middle that acts as the SFRS(seismic force resisting...
Slideruleear and asixth thanks for your help. Will keep you posted.
Here is the picture of the structure we are looking at in Montreal.
Asixth, very astute detective work by the way. Although from what I undertand, it was built before the Olympics.
See picture attached.
Thanks...
Hello,
I'm currently analysing a cable roof structure very similar to the North Carolina State Faire Arena at Raleigh.
Anybody have some info on how to modelize the structure, or how to obtain the tensions in the cables?
Please see picture
Thanks

Hello everyone,
I am currently designing a building with an elevator core acting as the LFRS (Lateral Force Resisting System). The core goes from the foundation level, which is 5-6 stories below ground level up to the roof of the building, which is also 5-6 stories above ground level. The...
Hi everybody,
when I am running my analysis, I am getting the following error message: "Error 380: Invalid Material property".
I've gone back and changed the joint at which the problem arose, and ran the analysis again, only to see the error message once more for a different joint.
I do not...

Thanks for your input, it helped a lot.
Because you seem to know a lot about constraints, I have a question: I have gap elements between the deck and the joists to prevent any movement of the deck into the frame elements. My frame element is 4" wide, thus i created 3 nodes, all...
Hi everybody,
I am working on a full scale roof diaphram model in SAP2000 Nonlinear 8.5.3. The model uses shells to reprensent the steel deck and frame/cable members to reprensent the actual structure below.
To join the two structures, I am trying to use Link Elements. However, I ask myself...
