Design Setting for Force Calculation
A new Design Setting allows you to choose whether to use the or the in calculating drag strut forces. The default value is applied shear, you should change this when designing connections if the design code specifies tabulated shear.
Calculations Seismic Irregularity
Furthermore, the program automatically changes the calculation to shear strength in the presence of a seismic irregularity when such an irregularity calls for it. Refer to the section on seismic irregularity analysis.
