I know etabs better for this but not all my colleagues using it now so we are using sap unfortunately.
I know how the section cuts work but don't know why some walls perpendicular to the X axis giving defected values or they really torsioning a lot.
But can't be that's why i am asking...
Hi, i have modelled a building that suffered severe torsional damage under effects of recent earthquakes. The model only consists shell elements so i am using section cuts (with grouping) for checking the torsional moments. But something is unclear for me. For getting a good measure from (let's...
Hello, been trying to design a portal, currently i am designing roof, while analyzing i am having this warning:
"Load Case : Solving Linear Stiffness from Zero (unstressed) initial conditions
THE STRUCTURE IS UNSTABLE OR ILL-CONDITIONED !!. CHECK THE STRUCTURE CAREFULLY FOR. TO OBTAIN FURTHER...
Hello, I have a structure modelled with only shell elements. Is it possible to get torsional moment data?
In some articles someopeople said S12 or S23? I couldn't find anything useful from CSI too. Please help,
i looked at the manual for shell stresses but didn't understand anything except S22...
Sorry forgot to mention, yes it was response spectra earthquake load. I understand your point but this does not apply for Y (dead + eqy combination) direction. And normally i don't see this kind of shape. What should i do or should i do something about this ? Boss i am confused [bigears]
Hello, why my model showing this kind of behaviour under dead + eqx combination , at the Y direction it's like a normal flex. But in X direction it's like this.
Please help me, Thanks.https://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=bcddd521-cdd2-4ea6-8abe-fe323f3a33ba&file=1.PNG
this is the error i get from the post i mentioned

İ tried both pycharm and spyder, with creating a python 3.8 environment ,yes etabs was open. yes i am using comtypes version 1.1.8 and i tried the code that you send it gave like you expected which is No running instance of the program found... So i think this is my real problem, how do i solve...
Hi , i imported comtypes.client and tried to start with:
ETABSObject = comtypes.client.GetActiveObject("CSI.ETABS.API.ETABSObject")
SapModel = ETABSObject.SapModel
but i got OSError so searched and found these article thread802-455667 but unfortunatelly this didn't work too. The error were...
