 I am modeling a high-rise concrete structure with lateral force resisting systems consisting of concrete shear walls with coupling beams and slab-column moment frame interactive system (wind only, no seismic loads).

It sounds like just what you want. Other beams will not be affected by this criteria unless they pass those tests. &lt;br /&gt;
Regretfully assigning rigid end zones is not something you can do member-by-member at this time. The rigid offsets in the Modeler are for shifting a beam slightly off the supporting column centroid primarily. I&amp;#39;m not too surprised they won&amp;#39;t work for your task.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
