Question about section define in Buildingtcl?

Post by duke535686 » Tue Aug 02, 2011 2:25 am

Hello,Dr. silvia:
When define fiber section in Buildingtcl, I notice can use ShearModelLabel to define section model includes shear flexibility. The default ShearModelLabel is Rigid. But in examples of OpenSees, it does not in consideration of shear flexibility. I change ShearModelLabel to null in my example, but get large bigger natural period . So the ShearModelLabel must be Rigid if I don't want consider shear flexibility like the examples of OpenSees?
