Modelling Parameters

The member’s modelling parameters may be defined from the Modelling Parameters dialog box, accessed by the Properties Window. Herein, users may define

• the concrete and steel material types;
• the frame element type that will be used to model the structural member in SeismoStruct;
• the number of sections fibres;
• the assignment of Moment/Force releases.

Notes

1. The choices in the Advanced Building Modelling tab for the  frame element types are the "Default options" within the Modelling Parameters tab.
2. Code based checks are not executed for the member of the elastic frame element type (elfrm). Hence, this element type may be employed only for special modelling cases, when an elastic member behaviours is expected.
