Cracked section properties for shear walls...

[ericjacques]

Hi everyone,
I am trying to implement cracked section properties in my reinforced concrete model. Specifically, I am trying to reudce the moment of inertia of my shear wall (thin shell) but I cannot figure out how to do this. Modifying the moment of inertia of columns and beams is easy as the option to do so is in the "Area properties" dialog, but no such option exists for areas.

Anyw advice on how to reduce the moment of inertia of my shear walls in SAP would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-EJ

Use stiffness modifiers for area elements
