View ArticleRE: Offset frames with flexible diaphragms
When diaphragms are modeled as "Flexible/None" or "Pseudo-Flexible" in RAM Frame, it is important to remember that the diaphragm is not included in the model. The program simply attributes a nodal load...
View ArticleRE: Offset frames with flexible diaphragms
Sure, that's possible. Keep in mind, when you specify that the diaphragm is flexible, or Pseudo-flexible, then it's up to you to distribute the loads to the frames manually (by nodal loads in the...

Thank you both for the suggestions as well as clearing things up for me. Correct me if I'm wrong, but combining the mass from the penthouse down to the roof would result in 0 lateral force at the...

Right, if you lump the penthouse roof mass down to the main roof, then the design of those penthouse frames would not have much force in them. At that point we are assuming that you are designing those...

View ArticleRE: I don't know how to interpret out-of-plane shear results
Your understanding of the out of plane shear stress is correct. The software assumes an element of unit width ( may be 1 ft or 1 inch wide depending on what units are being used) and reports the stress...
