Modelling of Rigid Diaphragm

Hello,

 

I am trying to model a rigid diaphragm on a steel building. 

 

However, when I apply wind load to the side of the building, the floor beam takes the load through minor axis bending. 

 

How do I ensure that the load is transferred to the slab, and by diaphragm action from there to the braced bays on the edge of the building?

 

Thanks
