SAP2000-Frame loads

[Samerkesserwani]

Hello

Can I make a frame element to do not take loads frame area ("uninform to frame" the type of load)

I have an area with frame elements on the periferic and an X in the middel of it, I dont want the X to take any load from the area.

Thank you in advance

Couldn't you either remove the X. or change the properties so it is so weak it doesn't attract any load. Or there should be a way to release all moment, torsion and axial at a member end (not familiar with SAP200, but that's how I would do it in RISA or the like)

Don't really understand what the X is. But you can select the element -> Assign -> Type of loads (depending on the element) -> Select the load you want to remove -> somewhere in that box you have: Add, Replace and Delete specific loads. So just select delete and the specific load will be removed from the specific element.

Select the X braces
Assign -> Frame -> Load Transfer Options -> Uncheck "Allow Load Transfer from Area Objects"

Hope it helps.
