One of our senior engineers says that when performing static analysis, we should select the option "Apply the horizontal loads calculated by the mode combination method to the rigid diaphragm", and other options will produce incorrect results. As a reason for this, it says "If you are analyzing according to TDY 1997 AND 2007, check this option" in the description for the mode combining method in the Help document. I usually analyze with "semi-rigid diaphragm" and "use response spectrum solution with eccentric moment loading on the diaphragm". Which of these analysis methods we use, we can reach more realistic results.
