I am modelling a T-beam. I used the mirror about local 3 axis to roatate T section as shown in the figure. But on viewing the extruded view in ETABS it doesn't make any change either i tick it on or off. Is there any problem with the extruded view in ETABSv19 or am i misinterpreting the mirror...

I want to assign a body constraint between offset beam and column section. How can it be done in ETABS? Unlike, SAP2000 there are no CONSTRAINTS parameter which i could view in ETABS.

Thanks for you reply. I had followed all these steps but in the 3D view changing the insertion point doesnot show any changes for slab section so i am not sure about it. In SAP2000, i am able to do it.

I want to put a slab element over the beam. It can be done using Insertion point in SAP but i am not able to do it ETABS. How can we do it?

1.The circular slab and beam both are added on the existing slab. 2. I prefer the new and old structure fully composite. The structure must be fully composite, isn't it? Recently, while modelling i apply constraint of new slab with the beam and not the slab. This is reason why two slab are...

Thanks for your suggestion. As a new liner is being placed over the slab the existing slab is not able to bear the load so extra thickness is provided at that circumference which will help distribute the load and prevent punching. Actually the new liner load is a circumferential load and i...

I want to add a circular beam and slab section on the top of the existing slab. But i am confused on how to create a connection between this two things. Should we assign constraints or is there some way to model...
