Question:

Hello There,

I have a problem to check on the wall design as per below picture, I already run the load combination, Kindly advise. I have attached my modal for your reference.


Thanks & regards,

Answer:
Hello,

To use that function via Design > Meshed Design > Wall Design, the section must be generated as plate not wall and then sub-domain(page.20 of attached file) must be defined as wall type.
In your model, you created the wall as wall elements, so you should use the design function via Design > RC Design > Concrete Code Design > Wall Design.
However, wall elements should not be horizontally divided into several layers inside a story, so regenerate the story data like the below image.


And then to resist for the horizontal loads, change the wall element to the wall-plate element in the change parameter function via Node/Element > Change parameters.

Thank you.

Hello There,

The reason I have several wall divided horizontally because of, I cannot create the wall if the is unequal. In the case midas gen for wall function only applicable for typical wall design is it?.


Thanks & Best Regards,


Hello,

In case of wall, it is only supported for the typical wall. Other case, use the plate with auto-mesh function.
Thank you.
