When viewing the total axial forces in a particular wall for any given load case the results I am getting are very different when viewed in the Frame module as opposed to the Concrete Analysis module. Is there a reason this may happen?
Check out our post on the module analysis types for starters.
The floor-by-floor analysis approach in Ram Concrete can be quite different than the full 3D model analysis in Ram Frame. There are also some options in the criteria for the two modules that could be set differently.
I want to design my concrete shear wall footing for sliding, but I am not sure the best place to get the shear force. The values out of Frame are much smaller than the shear in the concrete shear wall mode of the Concrete module. What are the options in the criteria that make the values in Frame and Concrete so different? Can you provide some guidance on the best place to extract the shear force of a concrete shear wall?
