I understand the above method of changing the slabs to "membrane" instead of "shell", however I still want to maintain the stiffness of the slab, as the slab is physically there. Therefore I would prefer to keep the slab as a shell, but "release" it at the walls. is this at all possible?
Hello all,
I am new to ETABS and I am trying to setup a lateral stability model for a tower. I have modelled the building, with the slabs as shell elements. I would like to release the slabs, eg pin them, to the core walls as the slabs will be connected via a corbel. There will be no moment...
