Connectivity frame-shell or frame-solid ?

Connectivity frame-shell or frame-solid ?

Connectivity frame-shell or frame-solid ?

(OP)
Hi every one,
Actually, I start to use SAP2000 V6.11 to modelise a building whose slab is prestressed and which is a wall supporting building. I'd like to know if I can make a 3D model of this building and how can I deal with the connectivity problems ?
Thanks,
Phan

RE: Connectivity frame-shell or frame-solid ?

modelling prestressed slab is not that easy using Finite elemnt programms
you must read more about shells and how they connect toghter in sap2000
have you experince in modelling?

I have experience in 2D modelling but not in 3D. And I have never do prestress before :(
I make some prestressed beams whose stiffness is very small in the shell for modelise prestressed forces in the shell. I hope it works but i don't know yet.
Thanks for your supervise.
