Hello STKO team,

I've been working on the attached pushover model of an MVLEM shear wall. Pushover curve itself looks good, but, the forces look like they are concentrated in the springs, when the forces should be presenting within the wall. Is there something else that I should be considering ...

Ok, that makes sense. Thank you for the help, I will take a look at the additional resources. Thank you!

Ahhh, ok, that will definitely do it! And that makes a ton of sense. Thank you for the tip on offsetting the nodes as well so that it is easier to make the appropriate selections. Thank you, and I really appreciate your help!

Hello STKO team,

I am working on a pushover model for an MVLEM shear wall, and I am trying to add springs at the base because a fully-fixed base is not the best reflection of reality. So I have been following the example presented on this forum post: https://asdeasoft.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p ...

Hello STKO team,

I am working on modifying some of my shear wall models, and one item I would like to incorporate is rebar slip within a pushover model of a singular wall. I know that for the SFI model I can simply change a factor, but I'm not sure how to incorporate rebar slip for the MVLEM model ...

I actually have one more question about this model. I am trying to run a pushover analysis, and I am having some difficulties running the pushover to failure. Specifically I think it is because the building is so stiff. Is there any possibility you would be able to help me address the model? I'm ...

Ah, ok! That makes a ton of sense, thank you so much for your help!

Ohhh! Ok, that worked great! If I'm understanding correctly, it's because when the beam nodes connecting to the sides of the face, the meshing algorithm needs the additional lines to make the faces rectangular between the vertices, right?

One last thing, when I'm running the tcl files I have these ...

Hello STKO team,

I'm still having some issues with the mesh in the model, is it something to do with the boundary element columns I used? I would really appreciate some insights and solutions to fix the model. Thank you!

Hello STKO team,

I am working on converting a lumped plasticity frame model to a frame with MVLEM walls to represent a retrofit design of an existing structure. As you can see from the screenshot, I'm having issues with my mesh. I've watched the lectures on meshing and on using the MVLEM to try ...
