Not just ETABS. This is a global differentiation in all the finite element software. Membrane elements are used to represent only inplane stiffness of members. It acts like the bedsheet on your bed. The bedsheet does not have any kind of bending stiffness and so it bends without any resistance.…

An ETABS file of a 40 story tower was shared with the problem.
An ETABS file of a 40 story tower was shared with the problem. The advance solver cannot run P Delta, the standard solver cannot complete the run for more than 48 hours run time…modal results were not seen…. The engineer tried to run the analysis for more than a week…also…
A 10 story apartment building has been analyzed and designed in ETABS and verified with manual calculations
A 10 story apartment building has been analyzed and designed in ETABS and verified with manual calculations .Stability check as per IS 1893 has been carried out including plan irregularity, torsion irregularity, mass irregularity, soft story, drift etc. and found the structure to be stable under the subjected load. In…
MESHING TECHNIQUES during Finite Element Analysis.
Hi Everyone, I would like to share my recent experience regarding the MESHING TECHNIQUES during Finite Element Analysis. 👉 In Pic 1, “Floor Meshing into 2 by 2” option is selected. This approach divided the floor into larger elements by creating 4 parts in each panel. 👉 In Pic 2,…
Temperature Load E-Tabs v/s Safe
1. E-Tabs A- Temperature load give linear strain ,the same below and up the slab , represent the difference in temperature gradually during year B- Straining actions obtained from applying temperature load mainly in plane stresses for (slabs and beams ) and out of plane stress for columns and walls…
