Dear ALL,
Could anyone advise how to model the connection between the infill panel and the structural steel frame?
I would like to take into account the weight of the infill panel and its stiffness contribution, so that i could attain the natural period of the stucture correctly.

Thanks for ge0san reply first.
May I know what the commands for the following steps
(i) how to define a spring with an upper limit of capacity?
(ii)when the first spring fail, and further the 2nd springs will become active?
I am a new user for ETABS. I may be not fully know every single...
I have a probolem in modelling the lateral soil spring.
To cater the yielding of soil (An upper bound of spring capacity), i believe i have to model the lateral soil spring with two bi-linear curves, is there any way i can make it in etabs?
Maany Thanks.
Has anyone experienced this kind of warning under etabs "Model Ckeck" piror to analysis?
Warning: Checking meshing, At33.8MPD area F1232 (99.91% Increment)
Warning: Checking meshing, At33.8MPD area F2240 (3.53% Reduction)
Actially, i am using membrane elements in modelling the floor slab...
