Equivalent Lateral force mode

[Anonymous]

i have multiple questions.

1- i hand calculated the lateral forces on each storey of the building, now i want to view the forces on each storey after letting the software generate them, is this possible?

2- i only want the shear walls to sustain the lateral forces and not shear walls and columns, does the program applies the seismic forces only on the shear walls by it self, how?

1. Check the Stories table

2. You may apply releases for displacements to the columns

i think i should activate Ux and Uy since seismic action can be in both directions, am i correct sir?

No you are not, as releases are defined in the local coordinate system of a bar.
