I am noticing that the export file requires a lot of modification once it is imported into SAFE. I'd be curious to hear about how you all deal with updates to the ETABs model without having to export and do it all over again.
Does anyone notice that when you export ETABS and then import it into SAFE the wall elements are converted to beam elements. What are the repressions of this?
Thanks
My next question is, if this a stub (short in length) and does not have considerable bending deformation, is there a reference that accounts for the span/depth ratios and considers the shear deformation.
Hi,
I have been racking my brain over a problem that involves plate buckling. I have found the critical buckling stress formula by Timoshenko however I need to determine if there is something more practical out there. I essentially would like to know if there is a way to determine the buckling...

That is the situation I am dealing with. Both columns have their respective axial loads and the slab / column connection has shear & moment transferring into the columns. My question is. The center to center offset of these two columns is...
