How to model Steel Slit Panel?

Post by amirhosseinkb » Mon May 15, 2017 12:41 am

Hi
I am trying to model Steel Slit panel in Opensees but challenges are:
1.How to model Slits on the panel?
2.How to model Stiffeners which are on the both sides of panel?
3.How to model the connection between panel and frame when the panel is used as a shear wall?
Here is the Steel Slit panel itself:
