etabs output

[vera82]

Hello to everybody! I've just discovered your forum and I think I'll join it very frequently, it's rally interesting....
I have a problem with etabs... I create the model of a building using both frame and wall elements, but when I open the menu "display-set output table mode" I can't choose the option "wall forces" because it is not written in bold character.
What did I do wrong?

Thanks a lot for you help

Hi Vera

For getting wall output you have to assign them as Pier and spanderal (See technical document in ETABS manual to know about the Label option) do the analysis, run the wall design, after this procedure if you check the ouput table you will be able to get wall forces.

Best!!
