Group Sum And Shearwall Corewall Forces
ProtaStructure utilizes the Group-Sum methodology to calculate the total responses at the top and bottom of the shear walls modeled with Finite Element (FE) shell elements. This document provides clearance and verification of shear walls modeled with the FE shell elements, under various loading types.
