Simple way to get total force transferred from walls to diaphragms (RSA)
Simple way to get total force transferred from walls to diaphragms (RSA)
(OP)
Anyone know of a simple way to get the total force transferred between walls and diaphragms when utilizing response spectrum analysis?
If it were static or time history, I could subtract the shear in the walls above/below the diaphragm. But in response spectrum analysis this isn't quite correct. I would have to extract the shear from each mode, and do the modal combination outside of ETABS, which is doable, but kind of tedious.

You could try using this code make a lot of slices through your diaphragm with the section cut tool.

Hopefully eliminates the tedious nature of section cuts.

That's a good idea JA, I have not dived into making a plugin yet in ETABs, but it is on my to-do list.
I have seen your github on the starter kit... https://github.com/jchatkinson/ETABS-plugin-starte...
I will dig in the future. Would be a fun collab.

I try to add it under tools it only shows plugin

Reach out to me on the site and I will send you a .dll file for use.
