Does anybody have any tips of pointers for performing non-linear alternate path progressive collapse analysis per UFC in ETABS? I'm new to both ETABS and progressive collapse and feel like I've been thrown into the deep end. UFC has a design example but it's in SAP, not ETABS, and it's also not super clear for a first timer. Better yet, has anyone actually put together the model per the UFC example in ETABS? I'm trying to follow, but feel like I'm just poking around in the dark.

Thanks in advance.
